(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
26 March 2010 - Aker Solutions has signed a contract with Chevron Australia Pty
Ltd to supply subsea umbilicals and associated equipment for the Gorgon Project,
offshore Australia. Contract value is approximately NOK 550 million.
Aker Solutions will supply 264 kilometres of steel tube umbilicals to the Gorgon
Project, which will develop the Greater Gorgon Area gas fields, located about
130 kilometres off the north-west coast of Western Australia.
The steel tube umbilicals will connect the Gorgon Project's subsea production
system to an onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on Barrow Island, Western
Australia.
"This is one of the largest umbilical contracts ever awarded", says Tove
Roeskaft, senior vice president for umbilicals, Aker Solutions. "Australia has
several large offshore developments coming up and this contract will allow us to
demonstrate the robustness and quality of our product, which will help position
us for future work in this part of the world. We will work hard to grab that
opportunity."
Engineering of the umbilicals will be managed out of Aker Solutions' facilities
in Oslo, Norway, and Perth, Western Australia. The steel tube umbilicals will be
manufactured at Aker Solutions' facility in Moss, Norway. Final deliveries will
be made in Q2 2012.

joint venture of the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron (approximately 47
percent), ExxonMobil (25 percent) and Shell (25 percent), Osaka Gas (1.25
percent), Tokyo Gas (one percent) and Chubu Electric Power (0.417 percent).
