24 August 2010 - Aker Solutions, through its subsidiary in Malaysia - Aker
Process Systems Asia Pacific (APSAP), has been awarded two subsea contracts from
PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PETRONAS Carigali).  The first is a work order to
supply subsea production system and services for the Kanowit field, while the
second is a contract  to deliver 5600 metres of subsea umbilicals that tie back
the Kanowit subsea wells to the Kumang Cluster, Offshore Bintulu, Sarawak,
Malaysia.

The engineering, procurement and construction work order is valued at
approximately RM147 million (USD 45 million).  This work order is the result of
the frame agreement signed between APSAP and PETRONAS Carigali back in 2009 for
the supply of a complete subsea production system and services for a period of
three (3) years or until the completion of the Kanowit project.

Under the scope of work for this work order, APSAP will complete the engineering
and delivery of a subsea production system consisting of two subsea trees,
wellheads, subsea control system, manifold with high integrity pressure
protection system, pipeline-end manifold and all tie-in equipment. APSAP will
utilise Aker Solutions' high-tech manufacturing centre in the Port Klang Free
Zone to deliver the project and the equipment. Delivery of the subsea hardware
is scheduled for 2011.

Meanwhile, the second contract with an estimated value of RM17 million (USD 5
million) will cover project management, engineering, procurement and
manufacturing of subsea steel tube umbilical and auxiliary equipment.

The subsea umbilical, which contains steel tubes and electric cable, will
connect the host platform to the Kanowit subsea field.

APSAP will be delivering the contract out of Aker Solutions' purposed-built
subsea umbilical facility in Moss, Norway.  Delivery is expected to be completed
by the second quarter of 2011.

Dave Hutchinson, president - Subsea Asia Pacific, Aker Solutions, says the
success of this project is of high importance: "Kanowit is PETRONAS Carigali's
first subsea venture in Malaysian waters.  It will be an important reference for
future subsea jobs in Malaysia and a major milestone towards realising Malaysia
as the regional deepwater centre for the oil and gas industry. Aker Solutions is
honoured to be given a role in this transformation process. We are confident
that we have the knowledge and skills that are vital to achieving the deepwater
hub ambition together".
