Aker Solutions signs long-term strategic partnership with Vår Energi

The partnership also includes Honeywell and StS-ISONOR and builds on an already established collaboration model with clear incentives to work as an integrated team towards common goals.  

The contract has a duration of 5 years with the option to be extended up to 11 years. 

“We are proud to be a trusted and strategic partner for Vår Energi. At Aker Solutions, we believe that strong partnerships drive efficiency, foster continuous improvement, and enable a leaner project organization,” said Paal Eikeseth, executive vice president and head of Aker Solutions’ Life Cycle segment.  

The strategic partnership aims to create value through joint project planning, safe and efficient execution, collaboration and shared objectives.  

Vår Energi's chief operating officer, Torger Rød, is pleased to initiate a four-party collaboration with the team: 

"Aker Solutions, Honeywell and StS-ISONOR represent world-leading technical expertise and extensive experience in areas of strategic importance to our activities. With Vår Energi's clear growth ambitions, a strong and long-term partnership is crucial. We are working purposefully to achieve results through close collaboration, actively utilising our partners’ core competencies. By year-end, we will increase production to around 400 thousand barrels per day, which makes us one of the world's fastest-growing oil and gas companies.”  

Vår Energi's operations span the entire Norwegian continental shelf with a diversified portfolio of 200 licenses and 42 producing fields.
