Aker Solutions wins drilling equipment contract
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
26 August 2011 - Aker Solutions has received a Letter of Award from Daewoo
Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME), to supply two drilling equipment
packages to the new 'Cat D' drilling rigs the yard is building for the rig
operator Songa Offshore. Options (if exercised) for two additional units are
included. Contract value is undisclosed.
The development of the two Cat D semi-submersible drilling rigs has been
initiated by Statoil, the international energy company, which awarded two long-
term contracts for the units to Songa in July 2011.
The first two units will be delivered in 2014, and the main deliveries from Aker
Solutions will take place in 2012 and 2013. The contract includes topside
drilling equipment, procurement and commissioning of the rigs at the DSME yard.
The two optional units (if exercised) are scheduled for completion in 2015.
"We are very pleased to win these contracts, which demonstrate the good
cooperation between Statoil and the drilling operators and drilling system
providers. Together, we have developed a new generation drilling and well
intervention design, purpose made for the needs for North Sea operations,
through a joint FEED (front end engineering and design) phase. We are also
looking forward to continuing the good, long-term collaboration with DSME on
this project, the latest addition to a long string of successful joint
projects," says Thor Arne Håverstad, head of Aker Solutions' drilling
technologies business.
Work on the project will start immediately in Kristiansand, Norway, and in other
Aker Solutions drilling technologies units in Asker, Norway, Erkelenz, Germany
and Houston in the US.
Aker Solutions offers complete drilling equipment packages, including project
management, engineering, procurement and commissioning. We provide the full
range of topside drilling equipment and systems, and worldwide customer support
through our global drilling lifecycle services organisation.
