Statoil to ship first Asgard subsea compression component to site Statoil ASA will have the first piece of subsea compression equipment to be used in developing the Asgard natural gas basin off Norway leave port for the site on June 17, with the manifold module following shortly thereafter. Other modules will move to site next year, in time for a first-quarter 2015 startup. Aker Solutions, which developed the subsea compression system being installed, says Technip has established methods for winter installation in high seas, helping keep the project schedule intact. Beyond using subsea compression at Asgard and other deepwater fields, Aker sees the technology as potentially useful in developing Arctic resources, where having compression on the surface might also prove problematic.
