Heavy Transport and Lifts Leading to Equinor’s Mariner Onstream Today – Videos

Equinor and partners are proud to announce first oil from the Mariner field in the UK North Sea today.

The field is expected to produce more than 300 million barrels of oil over the next 30 years.

“The start-up of Mariner, the first Equinor-operated oil field on the UKCS, establishes our foothold in the UK and reinforces our commitment to be a long-term energy partner,” says Hedda Felin, senior vice president for UK and Ireland Offshore in Equinor.

The story behind today’s news includes loadouts of the topsides in South Korea and transport on 5 heavy lift vessels and the eventual heavy lifting campaign.

Equinor have released videos of these large and complicated operations and the video commemorating the first day onstream today, which we publish below.
