Statoil inks US$2.7 billion of contracts

Statoil has awarded maintenance and modification agreements worth NOK24 billion (US$2.7 billion) for the company’s installations on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) and for the onshore plants at Sture, Kollsnes, Kårstø and Melkøya.

The contract period is six years plus a four-year extension option, and starts in the first quarter of 2016. Remaining options of existing maintenance & modifications agreements will not be exercised.

The main contractor agreements have been awarded to the following companies:

  • Aibel
  • Apply Sørco 
  • Reinertsen
  • Wood Group Mustang Norway 

Competition agreements for more complex modification services have also been awarded.

Aibel said its contract, worth about NOK 7.5 billion, gave it continued responsibility for 12 offshore installations in the North Sea, Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea and four onshore facilities, as well as the new development Aasta Hansteen. 

Apply Sørco said its contract was worth about NOK4 billion and is a main supplier agreement covering the Gina Krog, Sleipner, Gudrun, Draupner, Gullfaks, Kvitebjørn and Valemon facilities.

In addition, Statoil announced competition agreements for modifications work, which will see modifications projects offered under competitive bidding outside the main maintenance and modifications contracts, awarded to the following companies:

  • Aibel 
  • Aker Solutions 
  • Apply Sørco 
  • Reinertsen 
  • Wood Group Mustang Norway 

Statoil says the awards reveal that it is continuing its improvement effort together with familiar maintenance and modification suppliers, but that it had also brought in a new new player into the agreement portfolio.

“These awards will strengthen the NCS competitiveness and stimulate long-term activity and value creation. We look forward to cooperating with the suppliers, and jointly achieve lasting and sustainable improvements with regard to efficient production, safe operation and high integrity at our plants,” says senior vice president for operations technology of Development and Production Norway (DPN), Kjetil Hove.
