Tendeka to be in charge of sand-face completion scope on Aker BP fields

Independent completions service company Tendeka has received a letter of intent for a substantial multi-million-pound scope to supply sand-face completion equipment to Aker BP’s Norwegian assets.

Tendeka said on Thursday that, over the next three years, the existing frame agreement would see the company deliver its sand screens and FloSure Autonomous Inflow Control Devices (AICDs) to Aker BP’s fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

Aker BP is the operator of the Valhall, Ula, Ivar Aasen, Alvheim, and Skarv field hubs.

Karianne Amundsen, Tendeka’s Scandinavia Area Manager said: “Our fully interchangeable, field-adjustable, sand and inflow control solution is engineered for a wide range of applications and fits the different requirements Aker BP have across their assets.”

Brad Baker, CEO at Tendeka, added: “This specific technology is recognised for delivering marked production enhancement around the globe on key iconic fields and several recent significant industry awards reinforces our reputation as the world leader in inflow control technology and sand management.”

Last year, Tendeka secured the sand and inflow control contract for Equinor’s Troll field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The four-year exclusive contract will see the company deliver and install up to 100,000 metres annually of sand screens and FloSure AICDs for sand-face completion.

Aker BP also on Thursday entered into a long-term contract with Framo for seawater lift pumps where compensation is directly linked to facility uptime. The new maintenance contract covers all of the five field centers where Aker BP is the operator.
