ABERDEEN -- A consortium comprising Gazprom, Total, and StatoilHydro has awarded JP Kenny a multi-million dollar call-off contract for work on the trunkline project that will bring gas from the Shtokman field in the Barents Sea to Northern Russia.

For the project, currently planned to be executed over several phases, JPK is providing FEED and management of all activities associated with engineering the pipeline. Contracted to provide support throughout all phases of the project, JPK entered phase 1 of the development of the Shtokman natural gas field development in January.

"As the industry moves into deeper water and more remote environments, we can apply our subsea engineering capabilities to help our clients commercialize the breakthrough technologies needed to economically develop these new discoveries," says Gerwyn Williams, MD of JP Kenny.

For the technically challenging Shtokman project, which lies in arctic waters beyond the reach of divers, JPK will be delivering its tried and tested solutions to deepwater pipeline installation and will also be responsible for managing an extensive range of interfaces in terms of procurement, planning, and compliance with Russian regulations."
