TechnipFMC has been awarded a contract worth up to $1bn by Aker BP for its Utsira High development offshore Norway.
The integrated engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract brings together three projects that will tie back to the Ivar Aasen and Edvard Grieg production platforms. TechnipFMC will engineer, procure, construct, and install the subsea production systems, controls, pipelines, and umblicals for the development.
The New York-listed subsea giant said the award valued between $500m and $1bn follows a two-year integrated front-end engineering and design study to optimise field layout.
“Aker BP is joining the growing list of clients who are choosing the benefits of our integrated model, which include an acceleration in time to first production. Our familiarity with the Utsira High area and the success of our installed base there were key components in receiving this direct award,” said Jonathan Landes, president, subsea at TechnipFMC.
In related news, the company announced the appointment of Robert G. Gwin, former president of Anadarko Petroleum, to its board of directors to replace Peter Mellbye.
