Kvaerner has received a letter of award from A/S Norske Shell for Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Management (EPCM) for modifications and projects at the Ormen Lange/Nyhamna onshore facilities.
The contract is a framework agreement with duration of six years, and options for additional two plus two years. The estimated contract value is NOK 6 billion, excluding options.
"This is a major onshore contract, and the largest of its kind in Norway this year. We are proud to have won this important contract, which we believe demonstrates a faith in our project execution model and ability to deliver complete solutions to the client," says Kvaerner President & CEO Jan Arve Haugan.
The Nyhamna gas plant processes natural gas from the Ormen Lange gas field located in the Møre Basin in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea. The contract scope includes all modifications and projects on the Ormen Lange/Nyhamna facility and is established to meet the expected, significant increased project activity over the next five to ten years. This includes the facilities at Nyhamna for gas from new fields such as Linnorm and Aasta Hansteen (formerly Luva).
This is not the first time Kvaerner will be present at Nyhamna. In 2003 and 2004 the company was awarded three large contracts for the initial construction of the gas plant. Around 11 000 people were involved in the projects that lasted from 2005 to 2007.
