Aker Kvaerner has been awarded two new contracts by Hydro and ConocoPhillips, for cleaning and recycling of the glycol used to enhance the flow of gas in subsea pipelines in order to avoid freezing
The marine drilling riser system, to be used for a drillship, will come at a length of 7500 feet.
It will be manufactured and delivered out of Aker Kvaerner's subsea manufacturing centre in Malaysia.
Delivery is scheduled for Q2 2010.
Buoyancy modules will be manufactured by Phoenix Polymers International, a company which Aker Kvaerner acquired a controlling 50 per cent stake in June 2007.
"We are one of the market leaders in the drilling riser segment", says Svein Haug, senior vice president for Umbilical and Riser in Aker Kvaerner: "Our new high tech manufacturing centre in Malaysia has been a key driver in capitalising on the boom in the worldwide rig market.
Furthermore, we have recently opened a new drilling riser manufacturing facility in Brazil, which will enable us to grab an even larger share of the market".
