Aker Solutions' geo business has signed a three-year frame agreement with Statoil to supply sub-surface consultancy services within the areas of production geology, exploration geology and reservoir technology. Contract value is undisclosed. The agreement is valid a period of three years, from 1 March 2010. In addition, Statoil has options to extend the agreement with two one-year periods. The agreement is valid to cover Statoil's assets worldwide.
"This is a significant contract for us, with an important oil company who we share a great deal of history with," says Erik Sverre Jenssen, president of Aker Solutions' geo business.
"We are one of the largest sub-surface consultancy businesses on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS), and this contract both confirms our competitiveness and is a recognition of our competence. As a result, we will probably be looking at expanding our capacity within the market segments the contract covers," adds Jenssen.

The unit comprises a team of 60 geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers.
