Norwegian engineering major Aker Solutions considers the establishment of a base in northern Norway, which is to help the company get deals in Russia and the Barents Sea. -We have to get established in northern Norway to serve the customers in the north, company CEO Simen Lieungh told TU.no.

That new base will see the light if Aker Solutions wins a major
contract in the Goliat oil field project in the Barents Sea, a project
now under preparations by operator ENI, the company leader added.
However, the engineering company has Arctic plans far beyond the Goliat
project. Company representatives have shown major interest in the whole
region, and have organized several meetings with regional leaders,
companies and expertise. The Russian Shtoman field is likely to be the
project currently of biggest interest to Aker Solutions. The Shtokman
Development AG has recently announced a number of key tenders to the
project, one of the biggest offshore gas fields in the world. Kirkenes,
the Norwegian town near the border to Russia, could be a possible site
for a new Arctic supply base. In a meeting with local companies in
Kirkenes, Aker Solutions’ sub-sea team is reported to have positively
assessed conditions and facilities in the area. As BarentsObserver has
reported, Shtokman Development AG is in the process of selecting
locations and contractors for the Shtokman supply base. Sites on the
Norwegian side of the border could possibly meet requirements and
provide parts of the supply functions.
