Tore Sjursen, Aker Solutions head of Maintenance, Modifications and Operations, said the contract will help the company develop its maintenance, modifications and operations business in south-east Asia, after having traditionally been based in the North Sea.
"We look forward to further develop[ing] Aker Solutions’ relationship to Brunei Shell Petroleum, and expand our operations in this region," said Sjursen.
