Largest single power connector order for subsea leader Expro
Aker Solutions, of Norway, has ordered high-voltage subsea connectors for the subsea gas compression system the company is developing for Statoil at the Åsgard field, which is located 124 miles offshore of Norway, in the Halten bank of the Norwegian Sea.
Expro has been awarded its single biggest power connector order
to date with a contract worth in the region of £7.3million.
The Åsgard project is a highly significant win for Expro as not
only is it Expro Connectors & Measurements single largest power
connector order to date, but also on a project which is to supply
the world's first subsea gas compression (SSGC) system, which will
be released in 2014.
Expro Connectors & Measurements will be supplying the
high-voltage SpecTRON 5 and SpecTRON 10 systems which will provide
power to the subsea pump systems of the Åsgard SSGC project.
Work is well under way on the project in the technical department
of the Subsea Excellence Centre, in Ulverston, to meet the Åsgard
SSGC requirements.
Mike Friars, SpecTRON product manager, said: "The award of the
Åsgard SSGC contract is a fantastic achievement and is testament to
the hard work and commitment of everyone at Expro Connectors &
Measurements. To be selected to supply our products on this
prestigious and ground-breaking project again acknowledges our
expertise and reputation as a market leader in the supply of

systems."
