FORNEBU, Norway – ConocoPhillips has contracted Aker Solutions to provide a subsea production system for the Eldfisk North development in the southern Norwegian North Sea.

Eldfisk North will be developed as a subsea satellite, connected to the Eldfisk Complex.

Aker Solutions’ scope includes 13 standardized vertical subsea trees, wellheads, control systems, three six-slot templates with integrated manifolds, and associated services.

The company will deploy facilities in Brazil, Malaysia, Norway, and the UK for the project, with final deliveries scheduled for 2024.

Eldfisk, an oilfield in 70 m (230 ft) water depth south of Ekofisk, is the second largest of three producing fields in the Greater Ekofisk Area. The reservoir is 2,500-3,000 m (8,202-9,842 ft) below the seafloor.

The project remains subject to a final investment decision by the license partners and regulatory approval by the Norwegian authorities.

Last October, ConocoPhillips awarded the company a contract for the subsea production system for the Tommeliten Alpha development.
