The contract extends engineering and integrity services to central North Sea assets and supports approximately 50 positions.
Aker Solutions has been awarded a frame agreement with bp. This agreement covers the provision of engineering and integrity services. These services will be delivered across bp’s North Sea assets. The contract is set to be managed by Aker Solutions’ Life Cycle segment from its facilities in Aberdeen, Scotland.
The agreement establishes an initial duration of three years. It also includes the possibility of two optional one-year extensions, which could prolong the term. This new arrangement is expected to support approximately 50 positions.
A key aspect of this new agreement is the expansion of Aker Solutions’ existing support for bp. Previously, the company provided services for bp’s west of Shetland assets. Now, the scope of operations will also extend to include central North Sea assets.
Within the framework of this agreement, Aker Solutions will provide a range of specialized services. These encompass engineering, integrity management, project support, and operational services.
