Mr C.J. D’Cort, CEO of EMAS AMC commented on the contract: “This award is a strong validation of our relationship with Statoil in the North Sea. With this latest project addition we continue the steady growth of our global EPCI project portfolio and I would like to compliment our regional team for securing another winning solution in one of the most challenging operating environments in the world.”
Offshore activities will commence in Q2 2014 and the project is expected to last through 2015. The contract will be managed out of EMAS AMC’s Oslo office.
