Aker Solutions signs sub-surface frame agreement with Statoil
17 March 2010 - Aker Solutions' geo business has signed a three-year frame
agreement with Statoil to supply sub-surface consultancy services within the
areas of production geology, exploration geology and reservoir technology.
Contract value is undisclosed.
The agreement is valid a period of three years, from 1 March 2010. In addition,
Statoil has options to extend the agreement with two one-year periods. The
agreement is valid to cover Statoil's assets worldwide.
"This is a significant contract for us, with an important oil company who we
share a great deal of history with," says Erik Sverre Jenssen, president of Aker
Solutions' geo business.
"We are one of the largest sub-surface consultancy businesses on the Norwegian
continental shelf (NCS), and this contract both confirms our competitiveness and
is a recognition of our competence. As a result, we will probably be looking at
expanding our capacity within the market segments the contract covers," adds
Jenssen.
Aker Solutions' sub-surface consultancy Aker Geo AS delivers services through
the whole subsurface value chain, from exploration to production. The unit
comprises a team of 60 geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers. Its
main fields of activity are geological and geophysical interpretation,
