Johan Sverdrup
Design, manufacture and supply of heavy-duty supplies.
Project Description
In recent years, Johan Sverdrup has been one of the largest oil field development organisations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Keeping tasks moving efficiently is crucial for Johan Sverdrup and its operations, particularly because of its location. To implement important services effectively, Metreel provided an efficient system for the necessary support.

Solution
Metreel designed, manufactured, and supplied large, heavy-duty Met-Track® offshore drag chains and special umbilicals to carry multiple services. Installed on the drilling platforms, the drag chains contained hoses and cables, allowing the rig to utilise many ‘well drilling’ positions.
There were inevitable environmental challenges. Metreel designed special custom drag chains to accommodate seismic activity, paired with the North Sea’s conditions, which required special heating for selected hoses to cope with the region’s low temperatures.
