Aker Solutions cultivates its core businesses

International oil services, engineering and construction company Aker Solutions has decided to cultivate its core businesses by creating three separate companies. The new streamlined entities have a clear ambition to grow in their respective markets.

The new strategic direction, which will be announced at the company's capital markets day in Oslo, is the conclusion of a strategy process initiated by the Board in second quarter 2009.

Leading on from this, the next step is to cultivate the current Aker Solutions business into three separate companies:

· The future Aker Solutions will be a fully-fledged provider of engineering, technologies, solutions and services for the upstream oil and gas industry. Its range of offerings will include deepwater drilling technologies, subsea oil and gas production systems, well services, mooring and offloading systems, wellstream processing technologies, as well as life-of-field solutions through its maintenance, modification and operations business.

· Aker Contractors will be a specialised EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) company with a strong position in the North Sea field development market, key positions in selected international target regions, and a strong offering of distinct offshore products with a global market. The new company will continue to target offshore and onshore EPC field development projects with the ambition to maintain its strong position in the North Sea and further grow its international presence

· Process & Construction International, a leading global supplier of engineering and construction services to onshore industry segments.
