Neptune Energy announced the load out of the 740-tonne topside module for the Nova brownfield project in the Norwegian North Sea.
The module was lifted onto a barge at the Rosenberg Worley yard in Stavanger and will be transferred to the world’s largest crane vessel, Heerema’s Sleipnir, then installed on the Neptune-operated Gjøa platform.
Neptune has been leading the project on behalf of the Nova-operator, Wintershall Dea, which will provide additional gas and oil volumes and extend the operating life of Gjøa.
The module’s load-out completes the fabrication phase by Rosenberg Worley which began in November 2018.
