Aker Solutions awarded Moho contract
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
25(th) March 2013 - Aker Solutions, the international oil services provider, has
received a Letter of Award from Total for the delivery of a subsea production
system for the Moho Nord project in the Republic of the Congo. The contract
value is approximately NOK 4.9 billion (USD 850 million).
The Moho Nord project, located approximately 75 km off the coast of the Republic
of the Congo, consists of the two developments Moho Nord and Moho Bilondo 1bis.
Aker Solutions and Total will run both developments as one integrated project.
Scope of work within the contract includes the delivery of 28 vertical subsea
trees including wellhead systems, 2 installation and workover control systems,
7 manifold structures, subsea control and tie-in systems. The contract also
contains options related to Moho Nord which Total may exercise.
"This is a major contract award for Aker Solutions. We are investing and growing
internationally and Aker Solutions is committed to developing the oil and gas
industry in the Republic of the Congo through knowledge sharing and local
content," says Alan Brunnen, head of Aker Solutions' subsea business area.
The project will utilise Aker Solutions' new vertical tree technology. The
workover technology has been developed as part of the Skandi Aker/Tulip project
for Total.
Management, engineering and procurement will primarily be performed at Aker
Solutions' headquarters in Fornebu, Norway. The subsea trees and the workover
systems will be manufactured at the Tranby manufacturing centre, outside Oslo.
The production of the manifolds will be carried out at Aker Solutions' facility
in Egersund on the west coast of Norway, while the facility in Aberdeen in the
UK will deliver the control systems and the wellheads.
Moho Nord and Moho Bilondo 1bis are part of the Moho-Bilondo oil field which was
commissioned in April 2008 for commercial production. It is the first deepwater
offshore field of the Republic of the Congo at water depths ranging between 600
to 1050 metres.
Aker Solutions will also establish a service base together with Total in Pointe
Noire which is the second largest city in the Republic of the Congo. Aker
Solutions and Total expect that 40 people will be employed at the base.
The first deliveries of the Moho subsea production system will be made in the
second quarter of 2014.
