FORNEBU, NorwayAker Solutions has delivered the steel jacket for the Phase 2 platform for the Johan Sverdrup field in the Norwegian North Sea.

The company previously supplied three jackets for Phase 1. All four were built at its yard in Verdal, western Norway.

According to the company, a key focus of the campaign has been to improve execution models and to adapt work processes for new types of jobs. This should lead to reduced costs of future platform jackets for oil and gas and renewable energy production.

Verdal assembled more than 100,000 metric tons (110,231 tons) of steel, including the piles that connect the jackets to the seabed. In addition, Aker Solutions’ yard supplied one topsides and a large module for Johan Sverdrup.
