Aker Solutions ASA said Tuesday it has been awarded a contract
worth between 2 billion and 3 billion Norwegian kroner ($207.5
million-$311.3 million) from Shell U.K. for the delivery of a not
permanently attended installation, or NPAI, for the Jackdaw gas
field.
Not permanently attended installations are oil-and-gas platforms
that rely on automation rather than a traditional manned platform,
reducing energy consumption, manpower, safety risks, and costs.
Located east of Aberdeen in the North Sea, the field at peak
production rates could represent over 6% of projected U.K. North
Sea gas production by the middle of this decade, Aker Solutions
said.
The steel substructure including a pre-drilling deck is to be
delivered from Aker Solutions' facilities to Shell in 2023, and the
topside in 2024, it added.
Aker Solutions will book the award as order intake in the third
quarter of 2022.
