Overview
- Equinor issued 12 five-year framework agreements for maintenance and modifications on offshore installations and onshore plants that start in the first half of 2026, include two extension options of three and two years, and are due to be signed in week four.
- Aibel will cover assets including Sleipner, Oseberg, and Hammerfest LNG, Aker Solutions will handle work on Johan Sverdrup, Troll, and the Øygarden plants, and Wood Group Norway will take Snorre, with Rosenberg Worley, Head Energy, and IKM Gruppen assigned selected simpler projects.
- Three of the seven awardees are new maintenance players on Equinor’s portfolio.
- Equinor describes the package as among its largest and estimates about 4,000 man-years of employment at supplier companies.
- The awards align with plans to maintain roughly 1.2 million boe per day to 2035 through NOK 60–70 billion in annual NCS investment, extensive drilling and intervention programs, and thousands of modification projects, alongside a near-50% emissions cut by 2030.
