Johan Sverdrup drilling platform installed

摘要

The 22,000-tonne topside for Equinor's Johan Sverdrup drilling platform was lifted into position in one single lift by the Pioneering Spirit, the world's biggest heavy-lift vessel, at the start of June. After initial preparations, the actual installation job took only three hours, making it possibly the fastest ever installation of a large, fully completed topside, according to Equinor (formerly called Statoil). Two of the four platforms planned for the first development phase are now in place.
