New order: will see Aker Solutions deliver its 100th subsea tree for troll
Aker takes new StatoilHydro orders
Norwegian oilfield services company Aker Solutions has been awarded two contracts, valued at Nkr300 million ($54.2 million), by StatoilHydro to deliver subsea equipment to its Visund and Troll fields in the North Sea.
The work includes six subsea trees, with control systems, for the Visund field, and three subsea trees with controls for the Troll field.
Both contracts are call-offs from existing frame agreements between StatoilHydro and Aker Solutions.
“The three Troll subsea trees will be number 98, 99 and 100 that we deliver to this giant field development, which we shipped the first subsea tree to in 1999,” said vice president of Aker Solutions Mads Andersen.
“Troll represents a cornerstone of Norway's offshore oil and gas production and we are proud to still play a part in this."
The subsea trees will be manufactured at Aker Solutions' facility in Tranby, Norway, and subsea controls in Aberdeen, UK.
Final deliveries will be made in the first quarter of 2011.
