The pipelay vessel Solitaire of Allseas is back in the Norwegian Sea to install the export line connecting the Troll A platform with gas reserves Equinor is developing in the western part of its Troll field.
Positioned a few hundred metres from the platform, Solitaire, with assistance from Oceanic, started operations with a pull-in of the first pipe section into a special ‘seal tube’ at the base of Troll A, some 300 m below the water surface.
