DNV GL awarded Polarled contract

World 鶹ýӳ,


DNV GL, the technical advisor to the oil and gas industry, has been awarded another offshore pipelay surveillance contract by Statoil to monitor quality assurance throughout the installation campaign.

As new fields have become increasingly complex, the pipeline segments have also experienced cost challenges like other parts of the industry.

鶹ýӳNew technologies and continual development of best practise have the potential to contribute positively to the cost reduction efforts necessary to make the industry more robust. Our aim for this project is to contribute to safe cost reductions through ensuring best practice during the installation process to avoid stops and repairs, thus reducing downtime to a minimum during the costly laying process,鶹ýӳ says Kjell Eriksson, Regional Manager 鶹ýӳ Norway, DNV GL Oil & Gas.

鶹ýӳThis contract award marks the continuation of a strong collaboration between DNV GL and Statoil鶹ýӳs Pipeline Installation segment. Integrated subsea pipeline installation, field verification and quality surveillance have been a major service field for our Stavanger office since 1997 and this is yet another example of how we contribute with our best experience to assure efficiency and quality throughout the installation process,鶹ýӳ continues Eriksson.

DNV GL will complement Statoil鶹ýӳs installation team of pipeline engineers with multi-disciplined surveyors and inspectors to follow-up the quality aspects during welding and Field Joint Coating (FJC) on-board the pipelaying vessel throughout the installation campaign. Both pipelines (Polarled and Edvard Grieg Oil Pipeline (EGOP)) will be installed using Dutch installation contractor Allseas鶹ýӳ lay vessel 鶹ýӳSolitaire鶹ýӳ.

DNV GL鶹ýӳs first pipeline code was issued in 1976. It has achieved global recognition, winning prestigious industry awards and currently 60-70% of all new projects globally are designed and constructed according to DNV GL standards. Just recently during Corrosion 2015, the world鶹ýӳs largest corrosion conference, DNV GL was awarded NACE鶹ýӳs Distinguished Organisation Award for 2015. 鶹ýӳDNV GL has decades of distinguished service and dedication to the science of managing corrosion, illustrated by NACE leadership and participation, leadership in Joint Industry Projects (JIPs), and authorship of numerous white papers, industry standards, recommended practices, and service specifications.鶹ýӳ the NACE jury said in its statement.
