Aker Solutions and Fjords Processing form alliance

Aker Solutions and Fjords Processing have formed an alliance to develop technology and capabilities for advanced, cost-effective wellstream separation and treatment solutions for the subsea and topside oil and gas industry, the company said in its press release.

The WellSep alliance will apply Aker Solutions' subsea processing experience and testing facilities and Fjords' topside and onshore separation technologies to provide complete solutions.
 
Aker Solutions is a leading provider of subsea production systems with a strong base of subsea processing technology and competence from projects including the Åsgard subsea compression development.
 
Fjords Processing, previously known as Aker Process Systems, has in recent years strengthened its position by acquiring the separation specialist companies Opus Maxim Ltd and Separation Specialists Inc. Fjords Processing has fully refurbished its classical gravity separator technologies and tested its advanced technologies in produced water treatment and electrostatic coalescence with good results.
 
The alliance will have a dedicated team from both companies. Aker Solutions will serve the subsea market while Fjords Processing focuses on the topside segment.
