One contract is for the delivery of a four-slot production manifold to Anzon Australia’s Basker Manta field development offshore Victoria, Australia.

The other is with Allseas for the delivery of pipeline anchor boxes and driving module for the company’s installation work at Reliance Indutries’s KG-D6 field off the east coast of India.

Delivery dates for the two contracts are the fourth quarter and third quarter of 2008, respectively. All work will be undertaken at Aker’s Malaysian subsea production facility. The contractor for the orders is Aker Solutions Malaysia.

Egil Martinussen, senior vice president for Asia Pacific at Aker Solutions, said: The award of these contracts shows the competitive edge of our engineering and manufacturing capabilities in Malaysia. It also demonstrates our ability to accommodate fast track deepwater deliveries.
