Norway’s oil giant, Statoil has awarded Sevan Marine a study of the potential application of a Sevan FPSO for Statoil’s Skrugard/ Havis development in the Norwegian Barents Sea.
The study will be performed in the period from April 2012 to May 2013 and will be focused on further development of the Sevan FPSO as basis for future preferred concept.
Sevan Marine has in 2011 carried out a feasibility study for the Statoil’s Skrugard/ Havis development.
In December 2011, Statoil and its partners said they were considering developing the Skrugard discovery in the Barents Sea by means of a floating production unit with the additional capacity to process and transport from other prospects in the area.
According to Statoil, the solution involving a floating production unit will result in the rapid and cost-efficient development of the discovery.
