en.Wedoany.com Reported - IKM Ocean Design has been awarded a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract by Equinor for the Atlantis pipeline system, advancing the development of the Atlantis gas and condensate discovery in the Norwegian North Sea.
Discovered in 2020, Atlantis is located approximately 17 kilometers south of the Kvitebjørn field. The development concept involves a subsea tie-back to the existing infrastructure at Kvitebjørn.
Under the contract, IKM Ocean Design is responsible for delivering FEED studies covering the entire pipeline system and associated subsea infrastructure. The scope of work includes engineering design for the production pipeline system, monoethylene glycol (MEG) injection pipeline, in-field umbilical, and riser connections to existing facilities at Kvitebjørn.
The contract award follows IKM Ocean Design's completion of the Atlantis Pipeline Concept Definition Study between 2025 and 2026, ensuring continuity of the project team as field development progresses.
The Atlantis development is one of several subsea tie-back projects Equinor is advancing in the North Sea, aiming to achieve cost-effective development by leveraging existing infrastructure.
IKM Ocean Design stated that the project will draw on its experience in subsea and pipeline engineering, including its track record in high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) developments in the North Sea.
Anderson da Nova, Oil and Gas Regional Manager at IKM Ocean Design, said the company is proud to continue its collaboration with Equinor on the Atlantis project. This FEED scope demonstrates its capability to deliver fully integrated pipeline engineering solutions, covering route and mechanical design, installation and protection strategies, ensuring safe, efficient, and cost-optimized field development.
