Subsea7 has been awarded a large1 contract by Equinor relating to the Fram Sør development project, offshore Norway, the company announced Thursday.
Equinor’s Troll C platform, located 10-30 km from the Fram Sor development
The project work scope covers engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of subsea structures and flowlines including 53 km of production, gas lift and water injection lines. The scope also includes installation of the umbilical system. It follows the award on 9 January 2025 of a contract for front-end engineering (FEED) and design that finalized the technical definition of the development.
Engineering and project management will begin immediately in Subsea7’s offices in Norway and UK. Offshore installation activities are expected in 2026, 2027 and 2028.
The Fram Sør area is located 10-30 km north of the Equinor-operated Troll C platform, approximately 70 km north-west of Bergen. The Fram Sør project will be connected to the existing Fram and Troll C infrastructure.
“This award continues our long-standing collaboration with Equinor,” said Erik Femsteinevik, Vice President for Subsea7. “The FEED study enabled Subsea7 to engage early in the field development process, optimizing design solutions and contributing to the final investment decision. We look forward to working closely with Equinor to deliver the Fram Sør development safely and efficiently.”
Subsea7 defines a large contract as being between $300 million and $500 million.
