The platform is under construction on the island of Stord, north of Stavanger, and is expected to be completed in first-quarter 2019.
The living quarters platform will have a capacity for 560 people. It also will accommodate the field’s control and emergency center, and some utility systems.
Statoil awarded a joint venture of Kvaerner ASA and KBR Inc. the contract for engineering and construction for the platform in June 2015 (OGJ Online, June 8, 2015).
