OKEA has selected Aker Solutions as the main contractor for Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (EPCI). The project will involve major modifications of the existing platform to enable power from shore.

Lifetime-extension of this important field can result in 20 years of production and value creation.

The project has started up and are scheduled to be completed in 2026. The project is managed from Aker Solutions’ offices in Trondheim in Mid Norway. Several Aker Solutions offices will be engaged in the engineering phase, and the construction will be executed at the company’s yard in Egersund.

Aker Solutions will recognize an order intake of around NOK 2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2023 in the EMM segment.
