Aker Solutions Secures Perenco UK Services Contract Extension

Aker Solutions announced Wednesday that it has secured a three-year contract extension, with two one-year options, from Perenco UK to continue operations and maintenance services on its southern North Sea assets.

The three-year contract extension, effective through to 2021, will see Aker Solutions continue to provide core crew operations, maintenance and craft construction personnel, as well as electrical, instrument and production technicians.

In a company statement, Aker said the contract “builds on a highly successful and collaborative 15-year relationship providing operations and maintenance services for Perenco UK’s southern North Sea assets”.

Aker Solutions has provided Perenco UK with continuous operations support covering 48 platforms and the Bacton and Dimlington gas receiving terminals since 2003.

"Aker Solutions and Perenco UK have built a sustainable and highly performing relationship," Sian Lloyd Rees, Aker Solutions’ UK country manager, said in a company statement.

"A key focus of this contract has been the introduction of a number of cost-saving and continuous improvement initiatives. I am pleased that we are able to continue this partnership through the recent contract extension,” Rees added.
