Aker Solutions wins drilling contract from DMSE
Aker Solutions has been awarded a contract by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) for the delivery of a deepwater drilling riser system to the DSME shipyard in South Korea. The riser package will be installed on Atwood Oceanics, Inc.'s ultra-deepwater drillship, the Atwood Advantage. The contract value is approximately US$ 48 million.
The 10 000 ft deepwater drilling riser system will be manufactured and delivered out of Aker Solutions' manufacturing plant in Port Klang, Malaysia. Delivery of the drilling riser system is scheduled for March 2014.
The delivery is related to the first of two options included in the drilling riser contract announced in July 2011.
"We are very pleased to see our customers DMSE and Atwood exercising their option for the Aker Solutions CLIP riser systems," says Thor Arne Håverstad, executive vice president of Aker Solutions' drilling technologies business.
