Aker Solutions has announced plans to bolster its LNG capabilities to capitalise on an expected surge in global demand for the fuel.
The company has hired four leading specialists with extensive experience from executing more than 30 LNG projects globally. It hopes that the new additions will strengthen the company’s ability to integrate the various phases of an offshore gas development from early feasibility studies to delivery, unlocking value and bringing efficiencies across an entire project.
The new team, which will be based in London, UK, will form part of the company’s front end group, which provides early-phase engineering and consultancy services for energy projects.
Executive Vice President, Knut Nyborg, said: “Strengthening our gas team with this top industry talent extends our reach in a sector where we see great potential,” said, who heads Aker Solutions’ front end delivery centre.
“We’re now in a strong position to develop cost-effective integrated gas solutions from reservoir to market, providing our customers the solutions they need to develop these new and often complex gas projects.”
