Aker Solutions signs contract for Gudrun tie-in to Sleipner worth NOK 900 million

20 September 2010 - Statoil has awarded Aker Solutions the Sleipner
Modifications Portfolio Agreement and the first project-specific agreements for
engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) for the Gudrun
tie-in to Sleipner in the North Sea. The order is worth approximately NOK 900
million and replaces the letter of intent announced July 14.

"We are pleased to win the portfolio agreement for modifications in the Sleipner
area and we are looking forward to take on the Gudrun tie-in work for Statoil
and its partners. This order confirms Aker Solutions' leading position within
advanced and complex modifications in the North Sea," says Stian Vemmestad,
president for maintenance, modifications and operations in Aker Solutions.

Positioning for more advanced and complex modifications projects in the North
Sea is a strategic objective for Aker Solutions' maintenance and modifications
business (MMO).

The Sleipner area is the second largest gas producer in the North Sea, after the
Troll field. Gudrun is a major field development project in the Sleipner area.
Sleipner will process oil and gas from Gudrun in addition to supplying power to
the Gudrun platform.

The work will be managed out of Aker Solutions' regional office in Stavanger and
will also engage prefabrication resources at Aker Solutions' yard in Egersund.
Work under the contract will be completed in October 2013.

The contract parties are Aker Solutions' subsidiary Aker Offshore Partner AS and
Statoil Petroleum AS.
