Smørbukk Nord project : TechnipFMC wins iEPCI contract from Equinor

TechnipFMC has won an integrated Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (iEPCI) contract from Equinor for its Smørbukk Nord project in the Norwegian Sea.

Under the terms of the contract, TechnipFMC will be responsible for delivering and installing a high-pressure, high-temperature subsea production system and associated equipment needed for the brownfield tieback of the Smørbukk Nord discovery to the Åsgard field in the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The contract follows the front end engineering and design (FEED) work won by TechnipFMC for the Smørbukk Nord project in 2021.

Jonathan Landes — TechnipFMC Subsea President, commenting on the contract for the Smørbukk Nord project, said: “Our ability to deliver this optimized solution for Equinor is possible due to our close collaboration with the client, portfolio of subsea equipment, and integrated execution model. We’re delighted to be once again delivering an iEPCI project for Equinor.”

TechnipFMC said that the installation campaign for the Smørbukk Nord project will use its battery hybrid vessel, which will decrease greenhouse gas emissions via lesser fuel consumption.
