Aker BP expects the Utsira High project to develop 124 million barrels of oil equivalent of recoverable resources.

TechnipFMC terms a contract ‘large’ if the value of the contract is between $500m and $1bn.

TechnipFMC subsea president Jonathan Landes said: “Aker BP is joining the growing list of clients who are choosing the benefits of our integrated model, which include an acceleration in time to first production.

“Our familiarity with the Utsira High area and the success of our installed base there were key components in receiving this direct award. We have valued our dialogue with Aker BP during this process and we are excited about collaborating with them on Utsira High.”

The Solveig and Troldhaugen fields are planned to start production in the first quarter of 2026 while the Symra field will be commissioned in the first quarter of 2027.
