Aker Solutions has announced that it has secured a contract from Idemitsu Oil and Gas to provide engineering services in the Nam Con Son basin offshore Vietnam.
Aker Solutions said the new contract marks an entry into the Vietnam market. The nine-month contract is for front end engineering design (FEED) work for the Sao Vang and Dai Nguyet developments in two blocks operated by Idemitsu in the Nam Con Son basin.
“We are pleased with the opportunity to for the first time work with Idemitsu Oil and Gas in such an important emerging market as Vietnam,” said Luis Araujo, chief executive officer of Aker Solutions. “This will further strengthen our reach in Asia after building an important regional base in Malaysia.”
Aker Solutions will deploy up to 100 engineers, designers and drafters out of the company’s regional hub in Kuala Lumpur for the project.
