Equinor Energy AS has contracted Kongsberg Maritime to deliver the Safety and Automation Systems (SAS) for the recently announced phase 2 of the Johan Sverdrup development in the Norwegian North Sea.
The phase 2 agreement includes delivery of SAS and digital technology for a new processing platform, which is due to start production in 2022. Kongsberg Maritime will also extend and modify already delivered systems for the field center, in addition to providing three Subsea Production System tie-backs and technology solutions for shore power at Haugsneset, near Haugesund.
The core scope of supply for Johan Sverdrup phase 2 features SAS technology including Process Control, Subsea Control Unit, Power Distribution Control, Process Shutdown, Emergency Shutdown, Fire & Gas systems, Life Cycle Simulator, Information Management System and OPC-UA data gateway. The latest generations of Kongsberg Maritime SAS technology for production, integration, presentation, simulation, training and operation are also included.
Kongsberg Maritime has been a key technology partner for the project since 2014, when Equinor Energy AS (then Statoil (STO)) awarded a Project Specific Agreement including FEED for delivery of SAS to the four phase 1 field platforms.
