Aker Solutions CEO Kjetel Digre said: “We are pleased to be awarded another important contract by Equinor at the Åsgard field.

“This award continues to demonstrate the value of our leading subsea gas compression technology and is closely aligned with our strategy to deliver solutions that help the industry drive towards more sustainable energy production, with a lower environmental footprint versus traditional solutions.”

The company will conduct most of the engineering works at its offices in Fornebu, Norway, while its Egersund yard will be responsible for the fabrication work.

The subsea compression module is expected to be ready for delivery in August 2024.

Aker Solutions also delivered the current Åsgard subsea gas compression system that has been in operation for six years.

Located in Haltenbanken in the Norwegian Sea, the Åsgard field development is one of the largest developments on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS).

The field delivers approximately 11 billion cubic metres of gas per year.
