ENGINEERINGNET.EU - 'The €70 million contract with Hyundai Heavy Industries is another big Norwegian contract for us', states Hertel Offshore.
It follows on from the award for a first Statoil project in 2011 and another one for Shell in 2012, both currently under construction in the Rotterdam facility.
The project is on a 'lump sum' EPC basis and will draw on the in-house capabilities of Hertel Offshore. Work has already started and delivery is scheduled for April 2015.
The living quarter will be made of steel and will accommodate 108 persons. The five storey building weighs approx. 2,600 tons and will be fully equipped with everything required for offshore operations, such as galley, recreational area, medical room, control room and heli deck.
The Aasta Hansteen gas field is located in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. Statoil serves as the operator, holding a 75% interest; OMV holds 15%; and ConocoPhillips holds the remaining 10% interest.
