NDT Global Wins Multi-Million Euro Statoil Contract In Face of Keen Competition
NDT Global, a leading supplier of ultrasonic pipeline inspection and integrity services, has announced that it has received a multi-million euro contract, on behalf of Gassco, from Statoil, Norway's leading gas and oil enterprise.
In close collaboration with Statoil, NDT Global is developing a suitable inline inspection (ILI) tool for the 707 km, 24-42 inch Åsgard Transport gas pipeline. The company will also supply the in-line inspection tool to perform the corresponding survey. This particular tool includes the latest in-house developments of combined inspection technologies.
The Åsgard transport pipeline starts at the semi-submersible Åsgard B platform in the Norwegian Sea, and terminates at the Kårstø processing plant in southwest Norway. It has been in operation since October 2000.
NDT Global has worked with Statoil in the scope of a Framework Agreement since 2006. The current purchase order was received in 2015 and in-line inspection is scheduled to commence in 2017.
