Aker Solutions, Kvaerner, and Equinor Celebrate Start of Manufacturing for the Second Phase of Johan Sverdrup Development. This is Norway’s Largest Industrial Project in Three Decades

Aker Solutions has been working closely with Kvaerner in a 50/50 joint venture to support the modification project of Equinor’s Johan Sverdrup Riser platform since May 2018. The scope of work includes engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of a 5,000-metric-ton utility module, as well as field center modifications and integration of a second processing platform.

The utility module will be built at Kvaerner’s yard in Stord. The prefabrication of the module will be done by various subcontractors in Poland. Aker Solutions’ yard in Egersund will perform the prefabrication for offshore integration.

“We are proud to deliver this massive industrial project together with Kvaerner and Equinor”, said Knut Sandvik, Executive Vice President of Greenfield Projects at Aker Solutions.

Johan Sverdrup

Johan Sverdrup is estimated to hold between 2.2 billion and 3.2 billion barrels of oil equivalents. It is expected to produce up to 660,000 barrels of oil equivalents per day when fully developed in 2022, which is about a quarter of current domestic production. Production is expected to start in 2019 and is projected to last about 50 years.

Equinor is the operator of the development, which covers more than three licenses. Other partners include Lundin Norway, Petoro, Aker BP, and Total.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

Christmas trees thrown away become a natural barrier in Alabama, where teams repurpose thousands of pines on the beaches of Gulf Shores to trap sand, rebuild dunes, and protect houses against storms and hurricanes for almost four decades.

Fiat Strada Turbo addresses the lack of power in the 1.3 versions with an engine of up to 130 hp, CVT transmission, and Sport mode, but evaluation reveals that the best-selling pickup truck in Brazil could still offer better braking, a larger screen, and more comfort for rear passengers.

Cane fences become a natural wall in Catalonia, where researchers and residents use sand traps on the beaches to capture sediments, rebuild dunes, and protect cities after Sant Pere Pescador lost 50 meters of coastline in 50 years.

While Brazil has been discussing the Rio-São Paulo bullet train for 30 years, India drilled 14 km of rock at an altitude of 3,000 m and in June completed the largest bi-directional road tunnel in Asia.
