Aker Solutions Signs Subsea Services Contract With Petrobras
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
April 15, 2016 - Aker Solutions secured an agreement to provide maintenance and
other services for subsea facilities at Petrobras-operated oil and gas fields
offshore Brazil.
The contract is for a fixed term of three years valued at BRL 435 million net of
taxes (NOK 1 billion) and may be extended by another three years. It covers
maintenance, storage, supply of parts and technical assistance for all subsea
equipment delivered by Aker Solutions to Petrobras in Brazil.
"Brazil is a key global offshore market," said Luis Araujo, chief executive
officer of Aker Solutions. "We have a nearly four-decade presence in the country
and are committed to finding solutions to help Petrobras develop its petroleum
resources in the most efficient and sustainable manner possible."
Aker Solutions is in April opening a new subsea manufacturing center in
Curitiba, doubling its local production capacity. The company is also upgrading
its subsea services unit in Rio das Ostras to better meet customer demand.
The contract will be managed at the base in Rio das Ostras in Rio de Janeiro, at
a local content rate of 87 percent. This builds on a commitment to develop
partnerships with national suppliers.
"We are pleased to be able to continue providing top-notch services and
technologies to support Petrobras' production and growth plans in the pre-salt
deepwater fields," said Maria Peralta, head of Aker Solutions in Brazil.
The agreement is similar to one signed in 2011 for maintenance of equipment and
other offshore services. Currently, Aker Solutions' subsea lifecycle services
unit has about 360 employees in Brazil, of which 150 are part of the technical
team working offshore. The company has about 1,300 employees in the country.
The contract is booked as part of Aker Solutions' first-quarter order intake.
