In an interview with Offshore Engineer, Odjfell OceanWind's CEO shared more information on the agreement. Draugen achieved peak output of about 225 000 bopd in 2001.īack in October 2021, OKEA also signed an agreement for a project that could see the Draugen platform powered by floating wind turbines to be supplied by Odfjell OceanWind. OKEA acquired its interests in the Draugen and Gjøa offshore fields in Norway for 4.52 Billion NOK from Shell in 2018. OKEA operates the giant Draugen platform at the namesake field off Norway, which started producing oil in October 1993. The award of the LOI follows completion of front-end engineering and design (FEED) work performed by Aker Solutions. The company expects to book a "substantial" order intake related to this contract in the first quarter of 2023 in the Electrification, Maintenance, and Modifications (EMM) segment, subject to regulatory approvals.Īker Solutions defines a substantial contract as between NOK 2.5 billion (currently around $255,59 million and NOK 4.0 billion (currently around $408 million). This will replace the current power generation from gas turbines at the platform and reduce CO2 emissions by about 200,000 tonnes per year.Īker Solutions expects the LOI to be converted into a full engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract during the first quarter of 2023. The project is planned to involve major modifications to the existing platform to enable it to receive power from shore via an electrical power cable. Stabilized oil is stored in tanks in the base of the facility. The field has been developed with a concrete fixed facility and integrated topside. It has been operating by A/S Norske Shell until sold to AS OKEA in 2018. The Draugen oil field sits in about 250 meters of water, and is located around 150 kilometers north of Kristiansund. Draugen is an oil field in the Norwegian Sea with a sea depth of 250 metres (800 ft). Norwegian offshore energy engineering and construction company Aker Solutions has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the oil firm OKEA for the electrification of OKEA's Draugen offshore platform.
