The contracts are for pipelaying and subsea installation and a subsea control system located on the Oseberg A platform."The new contracts in the Northern Lights project will create important activity for the supplier industry.Most contracts are now in place,and we look forward to working together with the selected suppliers to realise this pioneering project,"says Peggy Krantz-Under-land,Equinor's chief procurement officer.Subsea 7 has won an EPCI(engineering,procurement,construction and installation)contract for pipelaying and subsea installations.The contract value is estimated at about NOK 500 million.The supplier will fabricate and lay a 100 km long pipeline that will transport CO2 from the intermediate storage site at Energiparken in 0ygarden to the injection well in the North Sea.Subsea 7 will also install a 36 km long umbilical that will connect the injection well to the Oseberg field from which the subsea injection facilities will be operated.Project management and engineering will be delivered by Subsea 7's office at Forus,while fabrication of pipes will be done at the Vigra spool base near Alesund.The contract is expected to result in approximately 250 man-years during the project's life.Planning of the work will start immediately,and the main offshore operations are scheduled to be carried out during 2022-2023.
