Aker Solutions, Kvaerner, and Equinor Celebrate Start of Manufacturing for the Second Phase of Johan Sverdrup Development. This is Norway’s Largest Industrial Project in Three Decades
Aker Solutions has been working closely with Kvaerner in a 50/50 joint venture to support the modification project of Equinor’s Johan Sverdrup Riser platform since May 2018. The scope of work includes engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of a 5,000-metric-ton utility module, as well as field center modifications and integration of a second processing platform.
The utility module will be built at Kvaerner’s yard in Stord. The prefabrication of the module will be done by various subcontractors in Poland. Aker Solutions’ yard in Egersund will perform the prefabrication for offshore integration.
“We are proud to deliver this massive industrial project together with Kvaerner and Equinor”, said Knut Sandvik, Executive Vice President of Greenfield Projects at Aker Solutions.

More than a decade of delays: the duplication of Lot 1 of BR-280, between São Francisco do Sul and Jaraguá do Sul, had its project approved in 2013, suffered stoppages and has remained halted since 2022, with only 36% of the services completed.
Aker Solutions’ peak team will consist of approximately 300 employees.
Johan Sverdrup
Johan Sverdrup is estimated to hold between 2.2 billion and 3.2 billion barrels of oil equivalents. It is expected to produce up to 660,000 barrels of oil equivalents per day when fully developed in 2022, which is about a quarter of current domestic production. Production is expected to start in 2019 and is projected to last about 50 years.
Equinor is the operator of the development, which covers more than three licenses. Other partners include Lundin Norway, Petoro, Aker BP, and Total.
