Skarv scope secured by Asco
 Logistics group Asco has added work from BP's new Skarv development to its North Sea services with the award of contracts to provide and operate a supply base service for the project.
Asco says it won the deal after a competitive tender process to provide services under a supply base infrastructure operation contract over 15 years with 10 years of options, plus a supply base operation contract valid for three years with options for another six years. Together the work is worth £9 million.
Asco's Skarv supply base and operational support functions will be located Sandnessjøen, with work already underway so that the location can be used from September this year. First drilling for Skarv is expected to start in January next year.
Runar Hatlevedt, managing director for Asco Norge, was in no doubt about the importance of the deal. “This is a very important win for us and will position us in one of the most exciting and currently underdeveloped areas on the Norwegian shelf; the Norwegian Sea,” he said.
Hatlevedt's company has already been providing storage for coated pipe and transport at Sandnessjøen for a new pipeline being constructed to serve Skarv since January this year and the company also operates other supply bases in Tananger near Stavanger, in Kristiansund and at Farsund.Advertisement
