Estimated at NOK 2.5 billion (approximately US$ 264 million), the contract with Aker provides for the supply of four subsea templates and up to 23 SXTs and associated components that will be linked to the Grane platform.

The project will be carried out at Aker’s facilities in Norway, with deliveries from the UK, Malaysia, and Brazil. First oil from the field is expected in the first half of 2024.

In Brazil, the equipment will be manufactured at Aker’s plant in São José dos Pinhais (PR) – one of the company’s two global subsea innovation hubs, alongside its factory in Malaysia, serving domestic and international projects.

Aker’s plant had already received orders for the Askeladd field in 2018 for the manufacture of 2 manifolds and 4 SXTs, in addition to subsea equipment for the third phase of the Troll field.

“We are very pleased to see the Breidablikk project moving forward, following the provisional measures from the Norwegian authorities this summer”, said Kjetel Digre, CEO of Aker Solutions. “The award demonstrates our competitive position in the subsea market and will lead to more activities at many of our facilities in Norway and internationally, creating work for hundreds of employees across Aker Solutions. We look forward to continuing our long-standing collaboration with Equinor on this project.”

Aker Solutions recorded NOK 2 billion related to the first 15 subsea trees in the second quarter of 2020 and will reserve NOK 0.5 billion for the eight additional subsea trees as a purchase entry in the third quarter of 2020.

Breidablikk is a major oil discovery on the Norwegian continental shelf, located in the Grane field in the North Sea. Breidablikk will be developed as a subsea field with a tie-in to the Grane platform by Equinor and partners Petoro, Vår Energi, and ConocoPhillips.

The development of the project is subject to final approval from the Norwegian authorities.

Breidablikk Project

Earlier this year, TechnipFMC won a contract for pipeline installation in the Breidablikk project with options for subsea installation.

The oil will be transported through the Grane pipeline to the Sture terminal in Oygarden for storage and transportation.

The field will be operated at Equinor’s Sandsli facilities in Bergen.
