Managing Director on IKM Ocean Design, Peder Hoås, says in a press release "IKM Ocean Design is very pleased being awarded the contract. Our experience and competency fits well with the many challenges of Johan Sverdrup being a phased development. This is a continuation of the good work performed for the concept study completed beginning of this year and gives us the great opportunity to further support Statoil and its partners in developing the field architecture and subsea solutions for the largest oil discovery on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in 30 years."
