Aker Solutions to deliver drilling equipment package for a new rig in Azerbaijan
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
10 July 2013 - Aker Solutions won a contract from Caspian Drilling Company Ltd
(CDC) to provide a complete topside equipment package for a new semi-submersible
drilling rig in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The parties agreed not to disclose the value of the order.
Aker Solutions has previously delivered drilling equipment to eight drilling
rigs operating in the Caspian Sea. Two of the rigs are semi submersible and
operated by CDC.
"The contract confirms our strong position in the Caspian market and our long-
lasting relationship with CDC," said Roy Dyrseth, head of Aker Solutions'
drilling technologies business. "We are pleased to secure more work in
Azerbaijan after making significant investments in our infrastructure in the
region."
Aker Solutions last year opened a new facility in Baku to improve its offering
of services in the region.
The equipment will mainly be constructed and assembled at Aker Solutions'
facilities in Kristiansand and Asker in Norway as well as in Erkelenz in
Germany.
Installation and commissioning services will be performed by the Caspian
Shipyard Company Ltd., where Keppel Fels is the major shareholder. Delivery is
scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2016.
