HOUSTON, May 22 -- Statoil ASA, on behalf of Norway's state-owned gas company Gassco AS, has let an engineering contract to MW Kellogg Ltd., UK, for the upgrading and possible development of the gas treatment plant at Kårstø, north of Stavanger.
The 130-million kroner contract is for preliminary engineering with an option for detail engineering.
A 20% expansion of the gas plant last year boosted capacity to 88 million cu m/day.
No capacities were specified in the announcement of the new contract, but Arnulf Østensen, Gassco vice-president for technical operations, said, "Kårstø will be upgraded and expanded in coming years."
