"The Campos Basin extends around 100,000km², ranging from the outskirts of Vitoria to Arraial do Cabo, off the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro offshore Brazil."

Aker Solutions CEO Luis Araujo said: “We are pleased to expand our business in Brazil, a key international market.

“This is the second big contract we have signed after entering the maintenance and modification market in Brazil, reinforcing the importance of having a complete portfolio and being able to provide an integrated solution from concept to decommissioning.”

The contract services will be delivered from Aker Solutions’ majority-owned CSE Mecânica e Instrumentação services base in Macaé, Rio de Janeiro.

The project will commence next month, with final deliveries slated for 2021.

Earlier this month, Aker Solutions secured a maintenance and modifications contract extension with Point Resources.

The company also secured additional hook-up and commissioning work for Equinor’s Johan Sverdrup field offshore Norway last month.
