Under the terms of the contract, Technip will carry out diving services for Statoil for the Edvard Grieg oil pipeline and the Utsira high gas pipeline.

The project will connect the oil pipeline from the Edvard Grieg platform to the existing Grane oil export pipeline, while the Utsira high gas pipeline will be connected from the Edvard Grieg platform to the Scottish area gas evacuation pipeline.

Work will start this year and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2015.

The project will be run from Technip's operating centre in Norway.
