FEED Study
IKM Ocean Design has been awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract by Equinor for the Atlantis pipeline system.
Atlantis is a gas and condensate discovery in the northern North Sea, discovered in 2020 and located approximately 17 km south of Kvitebjørn. The development concept is based on a subsea tie-back to existing infrastructure, enabling a cost-efficient and low-emissions solution by leveraging existing facilities. This is one of many subsea tieback projects Equinor is planning for.
Under the contract, IKM Ocean Design will deliver a FEED study covering the full pipeline system and associated subsea infrastructure. The scope includes engineering and design of a production pipeline system, a monoethylene glycol (MEG) injection pipeline, infield umbilicals and risers connected to existing facilities at Kvitebjørn.
The award follows IKM Ocean Design’s completion of the Atlantis Pipeline Concept Definition Study between 2025 and 2026 and provides continuity for the project team as the field development progresses.
The Atlantis development is one of several subsea tie-back projects being pursued by Equinor in the North Sea, using existing infrastructure to support a cost-efficient development concept.
