Aker Solutions Wins Hook-Up Contract for Johan Sverdrup Oil Field
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
January 31, 2017 - Aker Solutions won a contract from Statoil for the hook-up of
the riser platform for the Johan Sverdrup field, Norway's largest offshore
development in the past three decades.
The company will work closely with subcontractor Kvaerner on joining together
the platform's seven modules, which will be transported to Norway in the second
quarter of 2018. The scope also covers planning, management and prefabrication.
The contract value is approximately NOK 900 million and will be split about
equally between Aker Solutions and Kvaerner. Aker Solutions' share will be
booked in its first-quarter orders.
"We're very pleased to continue supporting Statoil in driving forward this giant
development, which will be of major importance to Norway for decades to come,"
said Luis Araujo, chief executive officer of Aker Solutions.
The work starts in February and will initially involve about 100 people from
Aker Solutions, Kvaerner and Statoil, rising to as many as 1,000 people at its
peak next year. It will be carried out mainly in Stavanger and offshore.
Kvaerner will work closely with Aker Solutions and contribute to all parts of
the project delivery.
"We look forward to teaming up with Kvaerner to deliver on this next milestone
step and together work with Statoil to find the best possible solutions for this
major development," said Knut Sandvik, head of projects at Aker Solutions.
The agreement also contains hook-up options for the field's processing and
living quarter platforms, which are scheduled to be installed in 2019.
