Aker Solutions has secured an order from Statoil to provide a concept study for a floating production, storage and offloading facility for the Johan Castberg oil field development in the Barents Sea.
The order is a call-off by Statoil on an engineering contract for Johan Castberg won by Aker Solutions in 2013.
“We’ve worked with Statoil for two years on finding a cost-effective solution that will enable development of this strategically important oil field in northern Norway,” said Per Harald Kongelf , head of Aker Solutions’ Norwegian operations. “The costs have been significantly reduced and we look forward to continuing to work with Statoil to optimize this development.”
The Statoil-operated Johan Castberg field is located about 240 kilometres north-west of Hammerfest.
The two parties agreed not to disclose the financial value of the contract, which will be booked as part of Aker Solutions’ first-quarter order intake.
