The Norwegian arm of Spanish energy giant Repsol has picked IKM Operations for the provision of integrity management services at three oil and gas fields off Norway.
The scope of work includes engineering tasks and inspections at Repsol Norge topside facilities and subsea installations and pipelines at the Yme, Rev, and Blane fields. The contract duration is five years, including options.
The contract will also be supported by services from several IKM specialist companies including subsea engineering company IKM Ocean Design and the NDT and inspection company IKM Inspection.
“Advanced drone technology from IKM Testing will also be utilised. Planning, engineering, and management of the contract will be carried out by IKM Operations,” said Arne Vervik, EVP at IKM Operations.
Apart from Blane, Rev, and Yme fields, Repsol also holds a majority stake in the Gyda field in Norway. The Blane and Rev fields are located in the southern part of the Norwegian sector in the North Sea, both close to Norway’s maritime border with the UK. The Yme field is located in the southeastern part of the Norwegian sector of the North Sea, some 130 km from the Norwegian coastline.
The Gyda field, decommissioned in 2021, is located between the Ula and Ekofisk fields. Repsol Norge still is the owner of the license with PGNiG Upstream Norway. |
