Subsea7 has been awarded a contract by Vår Energi to develop the Goliat Gas Export Project in the Barents Sea. The project involves the installation of a 12.7 kilometer carbon steel pipeline to transport gas to the Hammerfest LNG plant. The scope includes engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of the pipeline and associated subsea infrastructure. Offshore operations are scheduled to take place between 2027 and 2028.

Another gas tie-in for the Hammerfest plant. The 2027 to 2028 window for offshore ops is a tight turnaround for Barents Sea conditions. Do we know if the existing Snohvit pipeline has the actual capacity for this additional volume without bottlenecks?

The capacity is one thing, but the regulatory push in Norway is shifting. It will be interesting to see if these legacy gas projects are being paired with any carbon capture requirements or if they are just running on old permits.

Subsea7 landing a 150 to 300 million dollar contract is standard, but it shows Vår Energi is still doubling down on gas exports despite the broader push for renewables. It is a practical move for revenue, but doesn't move the needle on decarbonization.
