Equinor授予3.85亿美元合同使用新技术

据离岸工程11月17日报道称 挪威跨国能源公司Equinor ASA已选择供应商，对挪威大陆架上的所有海上设施和挪威境内的陆上工厂提供检查服务，框架协议计划很快签署。

协议将授予挪威阿克工程、Axess AS、Oceaneering Asset Integrity AS和IKM Operations AS公司，自2020年1月1日起生效。这些协议的固定期限为六年，外加两个四年的选择权。

包括期权在内的总价值估计略高于35亿挪威克朗（3.85亿美元），该公司每年将雇佣约300-400人。

Equinor首席采购官（CPO）Peggy Krantz-Underland表示：“协议将确保Equinor和供应商的可预测性。 它们构成了强有力的长期合作的基础，使我们能够使用新技术，实现持续改进，增加各方的安全和价值创造。”

检查服务的主要目的是保持所有设施的良好状态，并为安全、可靠和高效的运行做好准备。

这些服务将揭示陆上和海上石油和天然气设施的薄弱环节，以防止严重损害，并应用了一些技术，如超声波、射线照相和无人机检查。

这些协议旨在奖励供应商总体上的改进，尤其是新技术和数字化的使用。

Equinor负责运营技术的高级副总裁Kjetil Hove表示“我们已经在应用先进的超声波方法来减少放射照相术带来的辐射。这些都是我们期待进一步发展的先进技术。令人兴奋的是，无人机正从一个利基产品走向成熟，成为这些服务中的标准交付产品。这将有利于我们的设施，因为我们将有更好的方法来检查高空区域”。

Equinor Awards Contracts worth $385Mln

Norwegian multinational energy company Equinor ASA has chosen suppliers for inspection services align="justify">The agreements will be awarded to Aker Solutions AS, Axess AS, Oceaneering Asset Integrity AS and IKM Operations AS, taking effect from 1 January 2020. The agreements have a fixed duration of six years plus two four-year options.

The total value, including options, is estimated at just above NOK 3.5 billion ($385Mln), where the scope will employ around 300-400 people per year.

“The agreements will ensure predictability for both Equinor and the suppliers. They form the basis for a strong long-term collaboration, allowing us to use new technologies, achieve continuous improvement and increase safety and value creation for all parties,” says Peggy Krantz-Underland, Equinor’s chief procurement officer (CPO).

The main purpose of the inspection services is to keep all installations in good shape and prepare for safe, reliable and efficient operations.

The services will reveal weaknesses in oil and gas installations align="justify">The agreements are designed to reward the suppliers for improvements in general and the use of new technology and digitalization specifically.

“We are already applying advanced ultrasound methods to reduce radiation from the use of radiography. These are advanced technologies that we expect to be even further developed. It is also exciting to see that drones are to mature from being a niche product to becoming standard deliveries within these services. This will benefit our installations, as we will have better methods for inspecting areas at height,” says Kjetil Hove, Equinor’s senior vice president for Operations Technology.
