In an interview with Offshore Engineer, Odjfell OceanWind’s CEO shared more information on the agreement. Draugen achieved peak output of about 225 000 bopd in 2001.īack in October 2021, OKEA also signed an agreement for a project that could see the Draugen platform powered by floating wind turbines to be supplied by Odfjell OceanWind. Draugen is an oil field with associated gas in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea. OKEA has permission from the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (Havtil) to extend the lifespan of the Draugen Field facilities in the southern Norwegian Sea until the end of 2040. OKEA acquired its interests in the Draugen and Gjøa offshore fields in Norway for 4.52 Billion NOK from Shell in 2018. Draugen platform granted long-term life extension. OKEA operates the giant Draugen platform at the namesake field off Norway, which started producing oil in October 1993. The award of the LOI follows completion of front-end engineering and design (FEED) work performed by Aker Solutions. The company expects to book a “substantial” order intake related to this contract in the first quarter of 2023 in the Electrification, Maintenance, and Modifications (EMM) segment, subject to regulatory approvals.Īker Solutions defines a substantial contract as between NOK 2.5 billion (currently around $255,59 million and NOK 4.0 billion (currently around $408 million). Most of the offshore platforms built with a concrete gravity base structure (GBS) in the 1980s were designed with a topsides put together from modular units. This will replace the current power generation from gas turbines at the platform and reduce CO2 emissions by about 200,000 tonnes per year.Īker Solutions expects the LOI to be converted into a full engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract during the first quarter of 2023. He had considerable experience of creating such facilities from his previous job with Phillips Petroleum, and remained with the Draugen project until it came on stream in the autumn of 1993. The project is planned to involve major modifications to the existing platform to enable it to receive power from shore via an electrical power cable. The Draugen platform being towed to the field offshore. These would be tied back to the Draugen platform and increase reserves by about 81 million barrels or 13 million standard cubic metres. The Draugen oil field sits in about 250 meters of water, and is located around 150 kilometers north of Kristiansund. Platform construction and installation is not the only source of offshore waste. The 22000t operating weight topsides will be supported upon a concrete monotower Substructure (gravity base). Norwegian offshore energy engineering and construction company Aker Solutions has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the oil firm OKEA for the electrification of OKEA’s Draugen offshore platform. The Draugen Platform will be installed in summer 1993 in 250m water depth on the Halten banken, offshore Mid-Norway.
