Aker Solutions Wins Rosebank FPSO Contract from Altera Infrastructure

Aker Solutions Wins Rosebank FPSO Contract from Altera Infrastructure

January 9, 2023 - Aker Solutions has been awarded a substantial[1] contract from

Altera Infrastructure for the complete upgrade of the Petrojarl Knarr floating

production storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) to be redeployed at Equinor's

Rosebank field development, offshore UK. The selected development concept for

the Rosebank field includes redeployment and reuse of the existing Petrojarl

Knarr FPSO owned by Altera.

The work will be performed in a joint venture (JV) with Drydocks World-Dubai,

and the upgrade will take place at the company's yard in Dubai, UAE. The

Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract is a combination of

work with new build, demolition and life extension (hull, marine systems and

topsides) required for the FPSO to be kept on the field for 25 years without

drydocking. The detail design will be done in Norway by Aker Solutions in

collaboration with Citec Norway AS, ABB Norway AS, OneSubsea Processing AS.

The EPC work is planned to start up during the first half of 2023 and is

scheduled to be completed at end-2025. The Petrojarl Knarr FPSO was transported

to Aker Solutions yard at Stord in August 2022 and will be stored there until

the planned tow to Dubai during the second half of 2023.

"We are pleased to have been selected by Altera Infrastructure for this

important field development project by Equinor and partners at Rosebank. We will

execute this project together with our long-standing partner Drydocks World

-Dubai, and we are looking very much forward to continuing our long-term

relationship. Collaboration and partnerships are core to Aker Solutions'

strategy and to how we work. It also enables us to handle capacity in the most

safe and efficient way, with a strong focus on solutions that reduce emissions,"

said Sturla Magnus, executive vice president and head of Aker Solutions' topside

and facilities business.

Aker Solutions expects to book an order intake of around NOK 2.5 billion related

to this contract in the first quarter of 2023 in the Renewables and Field

Development segment, pending final investment decision and regulatory approvals.

This order intake would reflect Aker Solutions part of the JV's scope.

About the Field

of potentially recoverable reserves. Equinor acquired operatorship of Rosebank
