Aker Solutions wins basic engineering contract for Hild field

29 September 2011 - Aker Solutions has won a contract to conduct the basic
engineering for the development of Total's Hild field in the Norwegian North
Sea. The contract value is about NOK 215 million.

Aker Solutions' scope of work includes engineering for several building blocks,
including topside, jacket, an FSO (floating storage and offloading), turret and
mooring, SURF (subsea umbilicals, risers, pipelines and flowlines) and
transportation and installation. The work will be completed in the summer of
2012. Basic engineering work covers a greater level of detail than a normal FEED
(Front-end, engineering and design) study for field developments.

The topside engineering will be done from Aker Solutions' head offices in Oslo,
Norway, while the turret and mooring work will be conducted in Kristiansand,
Norway. Aker Solutions has previously completed a pre-project/pre-basic
engineering study for the field. The contract party for Aker Solutions is Aker
Engineering & Technology AS.

42 km west of the Oseberg field. The water depth is 100-120 metres. The licence
owners include the operator TOTAL E&P NORGE AS (which owns 49%), Statoil (21%)
