The system will consist of two templates with manifolds, seven subsea trees including one spare, umbilicals and associated tie-in and controls equipment for Nova, together with installation and commissioning support services.
Work for Nova starts immediately and involves facilities in Norway, the UK and Malaysia. Final deliveries are scheduled for 2019 and 2020.
Nova has total recoverable reserves of 80 million barrels of oil equivalent. The field is expected to come on stream in 2021. Nova will be tied back to the Gjøa platform, which is about 60 kilometers west of Florø in northwestern Norway.
The companies agreed not to disclose the value of the contract, which will be booked in the first quarter.
