HOUSTON, Oct. 26 -- Statoil ASA said repairs to the MSV Regalia multipurpose service vessel will slightly delay its project to increase compressor capacity on the Troll A natural gas platform and add 10-15 million kroner to the project's cost.
Prosafe, Stavanger, owns the vessel, which was found to have leaked 1,000 l. of hydraulic oil.
About 120 project personnel were demobilized Monday. Regalia, serving as a floating hotel during the compressor work, was towed to land for repairs, which should take a week.
The compressor capacity is being increased to enable more partially processed well-stream gas to be piped from Troll A to the Kollsnes processing plant near Bergen for final processing and transportation to continental Europe through four pipeline systems.
