Aker Solutions signs Bahrain deal
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
30 March 2012 - Aker Solutions has been awarded a contract by Enerserv W.L.L to
deliver 600 sets of surface wellheads and trees to the Awali Oilfield in
Bahrain. This is the first surface wellhead contract won by Aker Solutions in
Bahrain, which marks a successful inroad into this important Middle East market.
The total contract value is USD 17 million. The first delivery will be a total
of 45 sets of surface wellheads and trees that will be delivered in June this
year.
Dave Hutchinson, president with Aker Solutions in Asia Pacific says, "In 2009
Aker Solutions' surface business made a commitment to enter Middle East and
North Africa. I am pleased that our strategy is bearing fruit now that we have
successfully penetrated the market in Bahrain. We look forward to working with
Enerserv."
John Moffatt, the General Manager of Enerserv says, "I am excited at the
prospect of aligning with Aker Solutions to execute this contract. The interplay
between our teams has been outstanding."
The contract will be delivered out of Aker Solutions' surface products
manufacturing centre in Batam, Indonesia, and supported in Bahrain by a state of
the art oilfield service centre at Ramsis Engineering, a sister company of
Enerserv.
The Batam site was established back in 1992. In 2009, Aker Solutions upgraded
the Batam facility in order to increase its production capacity. As a result,
manufacturing capacity for production and assembly of surface wellheads and
trees has increased by more than 50 percent, or the equivalent of 300,000 man
hours. Aker Solutions employs approximately 320 people in Batam of which 90
percent are locals.
Aker Solutions is one of the world's leading oilfield products, systems and
services companies. The company has 23 500 employees in 30 countries worldwide
and had aggregated annual revenues of approximately NOK 36.5 billion (USD 6.5
billion) in 2011.
Contract parties are Enerserv WLL and Aker Solutions Singapore Pte Ltd.
