Aker Kvaerner To Be Awarded BP's Maintenance Contract
The maintenance and modification contract with BP will contain studies, engineering, pre-fabrication, installation offshore, commissioning and documentation. The agreement includes the Valhall centre (five platforms) plus the two flank platforms in the North and the South, the three Ula platforms, Hod and Tambar. Aker Kvaerner Elektro will be an important collaborating partner for AKOP within the electro, automation and telecommunication disciplines. Aker Kvaerner Offshore Partner has had the maintenance and modification responsibility for BP's Norwegian platforms since 1999, but for one year at a time. BP has now chosen to go for a two year EPCI contract with three options, each of two years. The extent of maintenance and modification work on BP's platforms has varied from year to year, but the manning requirement has for the last years been between 60 and 80 persons onshore and the same number offshore.
