Norwegian oil firm Aker BP (Aker BP) has agreed two drilling and well alliance agreements for its assets in the Norwegian sector.
One is with Maersk Drilling and Halliburton for use of jackups, and one is with Odfjell Drilling and Halliburton for semisubmersibles.
The intent is that the Drilling & Wells alliances will plan and execute sanctioned production and exploration drilling activities by using an integrated well delivery model; a “Drilling & Well Alliance”.
Halliburton will provide Aker BP’s well construction activities performed from either a Jack-Up (Maersk) or semisubmersible (Odfjell) drilling unit, provided the model is approved in the respective licenses.
The framework agreements are five years firm with the option to extend for five years.
Aker BP was formed from the merger of Det norske and BP Norge. it is the operator of the Valhall, Ula, Ivar Aasen, Alvheim and Skarv field hubs.
