Aker Solutions Completes its Deliveries for the World's First Subsea Compression System

摘要

The world's first subsea gas compression system went on stream in the middle September at the Statoil-operated Asgard field. Aker Solutions has delivered the subsea compression system for this field development. Aker Solutions in December 2010 was awarded the contract by Statoil to deliver the system, which consists of modules for two identical sets of compressors, pumps, scrubbers and coolers fitted together in an 1,800-metric ton steel frame. These components were delivered to Statoil ready for installation on the seafloor of the Asgard field in the Norwegian Sea.
