- Most of the subsea structures we fabricate are bound for the Norwegian Continental Shelf, but throughout the years we have also delivered structures to large projects worldwide. To be part of such a massive gas development in Australia is very exciting for us, says Anund Rønningen, site leader of Grenland Group.
Grenland Group has fabricated, assembled and tested the big Pluto subsea structures of a total of 500 tonnes at their yards in Grenland. The delivery includes two manifolds, two manifold support structures and two closed caisson structures.
The structures are part of FMC’s delivery to Woodside’s A$12 billion Pluto LNG Project.
The contract has a value of approximately NOK 120 million for Grenland Group.
Woodside is the owner and operator for the large gas field Pluto, located northwest of Australia.

The Piranema field, 25 km off the coast of Sergipe, started producing oil this Wednesday (10/10), in deep Northeastern Brazil waters.
