21 September 2009 - Aker Solutions has entered into a frame agreement
with BP Norge AS to provide well intervention services on all
BP-operated assets, including Valhall, Ula and the future Skarv
development, on the Norwegian continental shelf.

The initial contract period is for three years, with two additional
one-year options. Aker Solutions estimates that the agreement will
generate annual revenue of approximately NOK 35-40 million.

Under the agreement Aker Solutions will provide mechanical wireline,
wireline tractor and production logging services, which are all
services that aim at maintaining and increasing the production of oil
and gas.

"We have provided BP with well intervention services in Norway since
1986 and are very pleased with being selected as BP's preferred
service provider for both existing and new fields on the Norwegian
continental shelf," says Ole Petter Thomesen, president of Aker
Solutions' well service business unit.

"Through our long and successful business relationship, we have
detailed knowledge of BP's assets in Norway and we are confident that
we will continue to add value to their business. We are also pleased
that the new contract includes the Skarv field. This is the largest
ongoing field development project in Norway and is planned to come
on-stream in 2011. We look forward to being part of this important
field development project," adds Thomesen.

Aker Solutions' contract party is Stavanger-based Aker Well Service
AS.
