But it has retained stakes in more than 20 other fields,
including Equinor-operated Snorre and Shell-operated Ormen Lange.
Subsea procurements for the Johan Castberg, Snorre Expansion, Askeladd
and Troll phase 3 projects accounted for a third of the global market last year.
Gas separated from the main Vigdis structure is injected into the Snorre field, while gas from Borg Nordvest
and Vigdis Øst is piped from Snorre A to Statfjord A.
A contract for the work to be performed on the Snorre A and B platforms will be awarded later,
whereas marine operations will be performed under Equinor's framework contracts,” Rød says.

The project at the Gullfaks and Snorre oilfields would cost around 5 billion Norwegian crowns($592 million)
and could reduce Norway's emissions of carbon dioxide by more than 200,000 tonnes per year,
The output of Norway's biggest oil producer Equinor, formerly known as Statoil(STO), was not affected so far, the company said,

Dave Stewart, CEO of Wood's Asset Solutions business in Europe,
Africa, Asia & Australia, comments:“The Snorre A and Gullfaks A facilities will be the first oil
and gas platforms to be powered by a floating offshore wind farm.
The boosting station will be connected to the pipeline to enhance the capacity between
Vigdis in block 34/7 in the Tampen area and Snorre A located seven kilometers away for processing,
and will help bring the well stream from the subsea field up to the platform.
