pipeline inspection for Statoil
Posted: 19 May 2003
DNV Technology Services has been awarded a worldwide frame contract
with Statoil covering inspection services for offshore pipe laying
and the follow-up of components for the next two years, with further
one-year options.
The contract awarded covers two areas; inspection services offshore
and inspection services for the onshore components.
DNV was in strong competition with other international companies
and was selected as one of two suppliers based on its experience
and cutting-edge knowledge of pipeline technology.
Since the contract includes both the offshore and component aspects
it may give DNV a larger involvement than before in previous contracts
with Statoil, when only offshore installations were covered.
"Now we will also be involved in the follow-up of components
worldwide. Over the next two years, Statoil will have a very high
level of activity in this segment," says project manager Ove
Høiland, adding that DNV’s main goal for this contract
is to give the client the best possible quality and flexibility.
Kvitebjørn pipeline
DNV has also won parts of the contract to lay the Kvitebjørn
pipeline, involving the same services as are now included in the
frame contract. From now on projects like this will be covered by
the frame agreement. The work at Kvitebjørn has already started
and will be completed by the end of May.
