(front-end engineering and design) study for Statoil on the Mariner field on the
UK continental shelf in the North Sea. The contract value is approximately
NOK125 million.
The study will be delivered in the summer of 2012, after which the customer may
proceed with the final investment decision.
"We are pleased to have won another important topside FEED study from Statoil.
The Mariner field presents an exciting opportunity on the UK shelf, which suits
our strategy of boosting our presence in the UK further, " says Valborg

experienced engineering professionals to its London office, which could offer
future support for the Mariner project.
