Wintershall Dea Norge AS has let an integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation contract to TechnipFMC for its Maria revitalization project aimed at boosting production at Maria oil and natural gas field in the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The contract—valued by the service provider at $75-250 million—includes subsea trees, spools, jumpers, and flexible pipes.

The revitalization project will tie in an additional lightweight six-slot integrated template structures. The two existing templates in Maria field are part of TechnipFMC’s installed base and began production in 2017 (OGJ Online, Dec. 18, 2017).

The service provider's involvement "helped reduce the carbon footprint of the revitalization project by modifying existing infrastructure, eliminating the need for an additional 4,000 meters of pipe," said Jonathan Landes, president, subsea, TechnipFMC.  

Maria is 20 km east of Kristin field and 45 km south of Heidrun field.
