PARIS – GDF Suez has awarded Technip a €45-million ($62.5 million) engineering, procurement, construction, and installation contract for Gjøa development in the Norwegian North Sea.

The contract includes engineering and fabrication of two smoothbore gas export risers to connect the platform to the gas export pipeline, removal of roughbore risers and installation of the new smoothbores, and tie-ins and pre-commissioning.
