Aker Solutions wins Draupne FEED contract
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
22 March 2012 - Aker Solutions has won a contract from Det norske oljeselskap to
conduct a front-end, engineering and design (FEED) study for the Draupne field
on the Norwegian continental shelf.
The study will be carried out by Aker Solutions' newly established engineering
office in London, and delivered to the license partners in Q4 2012. The contract
value is undisclosed.
"I am very pleased that Det norske has decided to follow on the pre-FEED
contract with the award of the topsides FEED contract for the Draupne
development. The Draupne pre-FEED was the first contract awarded to the re-
established Aker Solutions engineering entity in London. The new award confirms
the successful build-up of our London office," says Valborg Lundegaard,
executive vice president and head of engineering in Aker Solutions.
London
Aker Solutions in 2011 decided to re-enter the London engineering market. Only a
few months after opening the new office in Chiswick Park, the company is once
again becoming a significant player in the London market. The engineering office
now counts 90 employees, and Aker Solutions expects to be around 200 people by
the end of 2012.
Draupne
The Draupne field is located to the west of Stavanger in the North Sea. The
partners in the Draupne field have agreed with the partners in the Luno field on
a coordinated development solution for the area. Draupne will be developed using
a fixed platform with pre-processing, and the well stream will be transported
from the Draupne platform to Luno for final processing and export to the
markets.
Det norske is the operator and owner of 35 per cent of the Draupne license,
together with Statoil (50 per cent) and Bayerngas Norge (15 per cent).
