Soiltech, a cleantech service provider based in Norway, has secured two significant contracts for the treatment of contaminated water. The first contract involves working with Equinor, Norway’s state-owned energy giant, to treat contaminated water on the FSU Njord Bravo, located in the Norwegian Sea on the Njord oil and gas field.
This project marks a milestone for Soiltech, as it will be the first time their slop treatment technology (STT) is used on an FSU. The contract is set to commence in Q3 2024, showcasing Soiltech’s expanding role in supporting Equinor’s offshore operations.
Jan Erik Tveteraas, Soiltech’s CEO, expressed pride in being selected for the project, highlighting the opportunity to gain valuable experience in treating waste fractions onboard an FSU. He also noted the potential for future collaborations with Equinor based on operational needs.
Soiltech Secure Major Contracts with Equinor and Petrogas for Contaminated Water Treatment
The second contract involves treating contaminated water on the Noble Resolute jack-up rig, operated by Petrogas E&P Netherlands, a part of Oman-based Petrogas E&P. This contract is described as significant for Soiltech, falling within their range of contracts valued between NOK 3–10 million.
It underscores Soiltech’s commitment to providing sustainable waste management solutions that support the energy sector’s ongoing decarbonization efforts.
Soiltech’s technology is designed to significantly reduce fluid waste generated during operations, thereby lowering the amount of waste requiring onshore treatment. This reduction not only cuts costs for clients but also helps in reducing carbon emissions. Notably, Soiltech emphasizes that their treatment process does not involve the use of chemicals discharged into the sea, aligning with stringent environmental regulations.
In addition to these contracts, Soiltech has recently secured agreements for treating contaminated water on semi-submersible drilling rigs with Odfjell Drilling and Tullow Oil. These developments highlight Soiltech’s growing presence in the industry and their proactive role in advancing sustainable practices within the energy sector.
