Aker Solutions wins surface wellhead contract in Egypt
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
11 April 2012 - International oil services group Aker Solutions has signed a
two-year frame agreement with Egyptian oil giant Badr Petroleum Company
(Bapetco). Aker Solutions will be the sole supplier for all of the oil company's
surface wellhead equipment, installation and lifecycle services operations in
the Western Desert of Egypt. Contract value is undisclosed.
Dave Hutchinson, president of Aker Solutions in Asia Pacific says: "We are very
excited about this award, as it marks the successful entry of our surface
business into the Egyptian and North African markets. Our ambition is to grow
Aker Solutions' operations in the Middle East and North Africa."
The contract will be delivered out of Aker Solutions' surface products
manufacturing centre in Batam, Indonesia, which was established 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 equivalent to 300,000 man hours. Aker Solutions employs approximately 320
people in Batam of which 90 percent are locals.

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.

2012. The contract party is Aker Solutions Singapore Pte.
