Previously, Aker secured contracts for the subsea production system, as well as umbilicals and direct electrical heating (DEH) systems, for the Tommeliten Alpha development project.

In a press statement, Aker said: “This means Aker Solutions, to date, has won contracts with a combined value of more than $310.7m (Nkr2.7bn) for this field development.

“Combined with previous subsea contracts for this field development, the contract award means Aker Solutions has been assigned an integrated responsibility for this field development.”

The Tommeliten Alpha is a discovery in the southern portion of the Norwegian North Sea. It is located about 25km south-west of the Ekofisk field, in water depths of 75m.

The development of the Tommeliten Alpha field is subject to final regulatory approval by Norwegian and UK authorities.
