Aker Solutions wins North Sea contract extension with Perenco

Aker Solutions has secured a three-year contract extension, with two one-year options, from Perenco UK to continue operations and maintenance services on its southern North Sea assets.

The contract builds on a 15-year relationship providing operations and maintenance services for Perenco UK’s southern North Sea assets, Aker Solutions noted in a statement on Wednesday.

Aker Solutions added it has provided Perenco UK with continuous operations support covering 48 platforms and the Bacton and Dimlington gas receiving terminals since 2003.

The three-year contract extension, effective through to 2021, will see Aker Solutions continue to provide core crew operations, maintenance and craft construction personnel, as well as electrical, instrument and production technicians.

“Aker Solutions and Perenco UK have built a sustainable and highly performing relationship,” said Sian Lloyd Rees, Aker Solutions’ UK country manager.

“A key focus of this contract has been the introduction of a number of cost-saving and continuous improvement initiatives. I am pleased that we are able to continue this partnership through the recent contract extension.”

The companies are not disclosing the value of the contract, which was booked in the second quarter.
