Aker Solutions won a front end engineering design (FEED) contract from Statoil for the Trestakk field tie-in to the Asgard A production vessel in the Norwegian Sea. The company also secured a separate concept study order for a low well-pressure project at Asgard A. Work on both contracts will start at once and be carried out by Aker Solutions' Norwegian maintenance, modifications and operations (MMO) business. The concept study will look at ways to allow future production at Asgard A at lower well pressures.

The contract includes options for FEED and engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) services. The Trestakk agreement has an EPCI option.
