HOUSTON, July 27 -- The hull of Statoil ASA's Kristin platform is due to arrive Tuesday at the Aker Stord yard, just south of Bergen, after being hauled from South Korea.
Measuring 82 by 82 m and standing 41 m high, the structure left the fabrication yard June 13. Samsung Heavy Industries, Seoul, built the 14,450 tonne hull.
Work at Aker Stord will involve installation of the topside modules, including the process and utility units. Also, the quarters module will be installed.
The floater is due to be towed to the field next spring. Production from Kristin is slated to begin Oct. 1, 2005.
