Aker Solutions secures maintenance and modifications contract with BP Norway
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
30 March 2012 - BP has decided to extend the maintenance and modification
contract with Aker Solutions, exercising an option in the existing agreement for
the Ula, Valhall, Skarv, Hod and Tambar fields. Work under the extended contract
will last until April 2014, and the contract value is estimated to be in the
range of NOK 0,8 to 1,2 billion.
The original maintenance and modification contract was signed in 2005.
"We are very pleased that BP, a key player on the Norwegian continental shelf,
renews its trust in our services. This extension ensures the basis for continued
development of our relationship with BP," says head of Aker Solutions'
maintenance, modifications and operations business, Tore Sjursen.
Scope of work under the contract includes maintenance support services and
brownfield modification projects covering engineering, procurement, fabrication
and offshore installation. The contract currently employs approximately 200
people in Stavanger, 20 in Egersund and 300 in offshore rotation.
Maintenance and modifications work will help to increase oil recovery rate and
extend the life of BP's fields. BP Norway's largest field, Valhall, which came
on stream in 1982, is expected to produce until 2050, even though it is one of
the oldest fields on the Norwegian continental shelf.
"Aker Solutions is also proud to be the modification services provider to BP's
great new Skarv development off the coast of Nordland. This is an important
contract for the build up of our activities in Sandnessjøen," says Sjursen.
Contract parties are Aker Solutions MMO AS and BP Norway AS.
