Aker Solutions wins Bøyla subsea contract

5 January 2012 - Aker Solutions has signed a contract with Marathon Oil Norge AS
to supply a subsea production system for the operator's Bøyla project on the
Norwegian continental shelf. Contract value is approximately NOK 210 million.

Scope of work includes engineering, procurement, construction and delivery of
four subsea trees, four over-trawlable subsea structures and control systems.

The Bøyla field is located south-west of the Alvheim field and will be tied back
to the Alvheim FPSO. The water depth is approximately 120 meters.

"The Bøyla contract is another confirmation of the robust nature of our fast-
track field development programme. We are working continuously to further
minimise execution time, risk and cost. This award reflects the programme's
competitiveness. We have a frame agreement with Marathon that dates back to
2004 and are very pleased to continue working with them on this project," says
Alan Brunnen, executive vice president of Aker Solutions' subsea business.

Engineering and manufacturing of the subsea trees will be primarily performed at
Aker Solutions' technology centre at Tranby, Norway. Engineering of the over-
trawlable structures will be carried out at Aker Solutions headquarters in
Fornebu, Norway. The subsea control systems will be delivered out of Aberdeen,
UK. Installation and commissioning will be handled by Aker Solutions' service
base at Aagotnes, Norway. Final deliveries will be made in Q1 2013.

Aker Solutions' contract party is Aker Subsea AS. The contract has been signed
and booked as order intake in Q4 2011.
