Vetco Aibel has been awarded a contract worth around NOK 700 million by Statoil for installation of a compressor module on the Sleipner B platform in the North Sea. The module will increase production of gas and condensate on the Sleipner West field.
Without pressure support production from this field will decrease from 2007. The main reservoir on Sleipner West is produced via the unstaffed Sleipner B wellhead platform. Gas and condensate are processed and exported from the Sleipner T gas treatment installation.
