Dagny Field Job for Aker Solutions

Aker Solutions, the Norwegian contractor, has been awarded a major project in the Dagny field of the North Sea.

Contract value is NOK 650 million (€87.4m) and the work will commence immediately, the company said in a statement.

The contract falls under the Sleipner Modification Portfolio Agreement, involving modification work on Sleipner A. This covers engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) to tie the gas production from the Dagny platform into Sleipner A.

"We are very proud to be selected by Statoil for another tie-in project. Modification work is part of our core business and it is important for us to stay competitive and be awarded key projects such as this," says Tore Sjursen, head of maintenance, modifications and operations (MMO) in Aker Solutions.

The Sleipner Modification Portfolio Agreement was awarded to Aker Solutions in August 2010 and the company is currently working on the first call-off project named Gudrun tie-in to Sleipner.

The Sleipner area is the second largest gas producer in the North Sea, after the Troll field. The Dagny field is located approx. 30 km northwest of Sleipner East.
