CB&I announced today that it has been awarded a project valued in excess of US$180 million by HYUNDAI Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (HHI).

CB&I’s scope of work, which will commence in the first quarter, includes detailed engineering design and procurement services for the spar topside that is part of Statoil’s Aasta Hansteen field development project off the coast of Norway.

When operation begins, the production platform will be the world’s largest, capable of producing 812 million cubic feet (23 million cubic meters) of gas a day and storing 160,000 barrels of condensate.

“We are pleased to work with HHI on this landmark project,” said Lasse Petterson, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “The award builds on our extensive work history engineering offshore topsides and our successful track record on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.”

Aasta Hansteen is a deepwater project consisting of the three structures Luva, Haklang and Snefrid South at a water depth of 1300 metres. The structures are located 300 km west of Bodø and 140 km north of the nearest existing offshore infrastructure Norne. The planned field development for Aasta Hansteen includes a SPAR platform, which will be the first such installation on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. SPAR is a floating installation consisting of a vertical column moored to the seabed. The installation features conventional topsides with processing facilities.
