\u201cDuring the fall of 2022, we started a tendering process among suppliers of emergency services to Aker BP. We were looking for a contractor which was able to offer high-quality emergency response expertise, had extensive experience, a robust organisation and a close collaborative relationship with other operators and emergency entities,\u201d says Marit Blaasmo, senior vice president for people & safety at Aker BP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAker BP places high demands on its emergency response organisation, and we expect a new partner to further strengthen and develop our emergency preparedness system. We chose the Operator\u2019s Association for Emergency Response (OFFB), a membership-based organisation which \u2013 including Aker BP \u2013 now comprises nine operators. We are looking forward to a good and close collaboration,\u201d Blaasmo says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aker BP is engaged in exploration and production of oil and gas on the NCS. Measured in terms of production, it is one of the largest independent listed oil companies in Europe. The company is the operator of six Norwegian field centres: Alvheim, Ivar Aasen, Skarv, Edvard Grieg, Ula and Valhall, and has a license share in the Johan Sverdrup field. It has extensive plans for growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together with its partners, Aker BP submitted a total of ten plans for development and operation (PDO), and one plan for installation and operation (PIO) to the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MPE) in December 2022. These plans amount to a total investment of more than NOK 200 billion. The development projects, together with a range of initiatives to increase production and efficiency, lead Aker BP to expect its production to grow from today\u2019s 400,000 barrels per day to around 525,000 barrels in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aker BP\u2019s head quarter is located at Fornebu outside Oslo. The company also has offices in Stavanger, Trondheim, Harstad and Sandnessj\u00f8en.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe greatly appreciate having a new, big member on board the OFFB. This as a unique opportunity to further develop our emergency response collaboration, for our members, Aker BP and the NCS,\u201d says Ole Jacob Haug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The OFFB is a member-led emergency response organisation, run by A\/S Norske Shell, DNO, Gassco, Neptune Energy Norge, OKEA, Sval Energi, Wellesley Petroleum, Wintershall Dea, and now, Aker BP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
