World’s Largest Crane Vessel Installs New Jacket For North Sea Oil Project

Aker BP, a Norwegian oil and gas company, has installed a new 90-meter-long jacket in the North Sea, facilitated by Heerema Marine Contractors’ semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV), the world’s largest of its kind.

The installation is a crucial step in a development project to extend the life of the Valhall oil field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) for another 40 years.

New reserves are estimated at 230 million barrels of oil equivalent.
