The Normand Maximus is an offshore vessel designed for subsea construction operations, SURF installation, heavy-lift activities and the development of offshore fields in deepwater and ultra-deepwater environments. Built by VARD Brattvåg and belonging to the Solstad Group, the vessel is equipped with DP3 systems, a 900 t offshore crane, a 550 t Vertical Lay System, work-class ROVs and extensive deck cargo capacity.
The Bouri Field is located offshore in Block NC-41, about 120km northwest of Tripoli in the waters of Libya. Water depth in the region ranges between 145m and 183m. Is estimated to contain 4.5 billion barrels (720,000,000 m3) in proven recoverable crude oil reserves and 3.5 trillion cubic feet (99 km3) of associated natural gas with an annual production potential of 6 billion m³.
Bouri field development includes two offshore platforms- DP3 and DP4, seven subsea wells and an Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO). Bouri is considered the largest producing oilfield in the Mediterranean.
The Porthos Project is developed in the Port of Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. The project involves the transport of CO₂ captured from port industries through a network of onshore and offshore pipelines to depleted gas fields located beneath the North Sea, where the CO₂ is permanently stored. Its objective is to reduce industrial emissions from the Rotterdam cluster and contribute to the decarbonization of high-emission sectors.
