HOUSTON, Nov. 1 -- Norsk Hydro AS, operator of Vigdis field in the North Sea, has awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction contract valued at 370 million kroner to FMC Kongsberg Subsea AS, a unit of FMC Technologies Inc., Houston, to supply subsea systems for the field's extension program.

The EPC contract includes six subsea trees and associated structures, manifolds, production control systems, and tie-in and connection systems for flowlines and umbilicals.
Vigdis extension will be built out with two, four-well subsea frames and two satellites.

The EPC call-off contract is covered by Norsk Hydro's frame agreement signed with FMC in 2000 for subsea systems.
