Grenland’s Pazflor staged deliveries are due to begin sometime in 2009.

The order adds to Grenland fabrication jobs for Woodside’s Pluto project in Australia and the Ormen Lange, Gjøa, Vega and Troll O2 projects off Norway. Three three-phase, sub-sea separation module for the Tordis field in January 2008 was also a Grenland job.
