Norwegian company Sevan Marine ASA said Friday it signed a cooperation contract with Eni Norge for the development of the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit at the Goliat field where Eni is operator.

No financial details were available.

A Sevan 1000 FPSO design has been selected for the field, located in the Barents Sea. First oil is expected in 2013.

Under the deal, Sevan Marine will provide project and engineering
management, and early operation preparation services. It will assist
Eni in several specific key engineering and construction activities
related to proprietary technology areas for the Sevan Marine reduced
emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), compared to no electricity from
shore.

The contract for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the
FPSO is planned to be announced later in the first quarter 2010.

Once completed, the Goliat FPSO, located in the Barents Sea, will have
a production capacity of some 110,000 barrels of oil per day, a gas
processing capacity of almost four million standard cu m per day and a
storage capacity of one million barrels of oil. It will have an
electrification solution, providing reduced emission of carbon dioxide
(CO2), compared to no electricity from shore.

Eni Norge, which is the Norwegian unit of Italian energy group Eni SpA
(BIT: ENI), has a 65% stake in Goliat. The other licensee is Norway’s
oil major Statoil ASA (OSL: STL).
