It is a significant win for Lloyd’s Register Consulting as Aker Solutions is one of the world’s largest providers of products, systems and services to the oil and gas industry. In combination with risk analysis expertise from Lloyd’s Register Consulting, Aker Solutions is bringing together the best engineering and technologies for oil and gas drilling, field development and production in the North Sea for the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase.

“The geographical scope of the Johan Sverdrup field is estimated to hold between 1.8 billion and 2.9 billion barrels of oil, so understanding and assessing the total risks for this huge field development is critical,” said Bjørn Inge Bakken, SVP of Lloyd’s Register Consulting. “We are proud to have been chosen by Aker Solutions to assist in the development of this precedent-setting operation in the North Sea involving four bridged platforms.”
