Equinor has awarded pre-FEED study contracts to BW Offshore and Altera Infrastructure for the Bay du Nord floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, planned for deployment offshore Canada.
The Bay du Nord project consists of several oil discoveries in the Flemish Pass basin, some 500 km northeast of St. John’s in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The first discovery was made by Equinor in 2013, followed by additional discoveries in 2014, 2016 and 2020.
Equinor will develop the Bay du Nord field using a floating production unit for storage and offshore offloading (FPSO), which also is a suited solution for tie-back of adjacent discoveries and future prospects.
