Snorre A is an integrated production, drilling and quarters (PDQ) unit. This tension leg platform (TLP) is moored to the seabed by steel tethers. Stabilised oil and gas from Snorre A is piped to the nearby Statfjord A platform for final processing. The oil is then loaded into shuttle tankers, while the gas is transported on to continental Europe through the Statpipe/Norpipe system.
Aker Solutions also delivered Snorre B, a semi-submersible production platform, in 2001, as a complete engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract.
