The deepwater marine drilling riser system will be manufactured and delivered out of Aker Solutions’s subsea manufacturing centre in Malaysia.
Buoyancy modules will be manufactured by Aker Solutions subsidiary, Phoenix Polymers. Delivery of the drilling riser system is scheduled for 2010.
Svein Haug, senior vice president for umbilical & riser at Aker Solutions, said: It is always enjoyable to get a new, well-reputed customer as Atwood Oceanics onboard. We are confident in our ability to deliver, so we will make sure we take this opportunity to position ourselves for future work from Atwood.
