Description

The onshore gas compression project at Hammerfest LNG aims to ensure sufficient gas flow from the reservoir to maintain high gas export levels and secure long-term operations beyond 2030.

As part of the electrification initiative, existing gas turbines will be replaced with electricity supplied from the power grid from 2030. This development requires extensive modifications both at Melkøya and onshore facilities.

Key project elements include:

• Installation of three major modules at the plant:

  • Gas compressor module

  • Substation module

  • Electric steam boiler module

• Extensive modification work at the existing facilities

• Construction of a tunnel for power cables from Hyggevatn to Meland

• Installation and burial of subsea power cables from Meland to Melkøya
