Aker Solutions wins Snorre A Drilling Facilities contract
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
28 February 2012 - Aker Solutions has been awarded a contract by Statoil to
deliver replacement and upgrading of the drilling equipment and systems on the
Snorre A platform in the North Sea. Estimated contract value is NOK 1 billion.
The main object of the project is to extend the technical lifetime up to 2040
and improve HSE factors while keeping the capacity and operational availability
"as-is". Scope of work will include engineering, procurement, construction,
installation and commissioning assistance.
"We are pleased that Statoil renews their trust in our service, and very proud
to be working with Statoil on a drilling upgrade of this scale," says head of
Aker Solutions' maintenance, modifications and operations business, Tore
Sjursen.
This project includes advanced technical solutions in addition to extensive
onshore testing in a considerably larger scale than previously performed. The
chosen solutions have been developed over many years through extensive studies
with participation from Aker Solutions, Statoil and the drilling operator.
Refurbishment of existing drilling facilities like Snorre A is a growing market
in the mature North Sea, and an area which Aker Solutions is putting high
emphasis on. The company has comprehensive knowledge about products, systems and
services required to plan and execute such work, and different parts of the
company would typically be involved.
The Snorre A drilling contract scope will be performed by Aker Solutions'
drilling technologies engineering team in Kristiansand and will be concluded by
its integration competence centre in Bergen. Prefabrication will be performed at
Aker Solutions' yard in Egersund.
Preparations have already started. A total of 100 engineering and management
personnel at Aker Solutions' office in Bergen and Kristiansand plus up to 100
offshore installation personnel will work on the Snorre A Drilling contract for
the next three years.
Contract parties are Aker Solutions' subsidiary Aker Solutions MMO AS and
Statoil ASA.
