The Utility module for the Valhall Production and Wellhead Platform (PWP) has arrived at Aker Solutions’ yard in Stord in early February, following sail-away from Worley Rosenberg in Stavanger. The delivery is described as the largest single module shipment to the PWP topside and marks a key step in the ongoing redevelopment of the Valhall area in the southern Norwegian North Sea.

Designed as the central structure for power distribution, control systems, and utility functions, the module forms a critical part of the new topside configuration. Fabrication and integration work spanned more than two years and exceeded two million work hours, reflecting coordinated execution within the alliance between Aker BP, Aker Solutions, and Worley Rosenberg.

Valhall PWP is part of a broader upgrade programme. The Valhall field commenced production in 1982 and is located in the southern Norwegian sector of the North Sea. Project information from Aker BP describes the PWP as bridge-linked to the Valhall central complex.

With the Utility module now at Stord, integration activities will continue ahead of the planned offshore installation.
