Aker Solutions said today it had clinched a deal worth £95million for upgrading Statoil’s Njord A platform in Norway.
Statoil is said to have made a call-off from the framework agreement for upgrading of the Njord A semi-submersible platform.
Kvaerner's cost cutting strategy has resulted in the Norwegian firm reporting a profit of NOK178million in its fourth quarter 2015 results, which it says will increase resiliance against uncertain market conditions.
Statoil has awarded Kvaerner Verdal a contract win for the delivery of the steel jacket for the Johan Sverdrup drilling platform. It comes after the companies signed a letter of intent which focused on the importance of cooperation based around further standardisation and simplification of work. Weighing 22,500 tonnes, the drilling platform jacket will be the second largest of the jackets to be constructed during the first phase of the Johan Sverdrup project.
Shell in Norway has awarded Kvaerner a project to harmonise the power supply interaction between the Nyhamna gas plant and the national grid.
