Aker Solutions Awarded Contract to Provide ECM Services at BP Lingen Facility

Aker Solutions has been awarded a five-year framework contract by Deutsche BP for the provision of engineering and construction management services at its Erdol-Raffinerie Emsland fuel production facility in Germany.

The framework agreement for services at the Erdol-Raffinerie Emsland (BP Lingen) refinery will cover expansion; revamp; support for HSE management, turnaround management and permitting; plus implementation of environmental legislative requirements; debottlenecking; as well as maintenance-driven projects. Project scope will extend across option development, feed studies, engineering, construction management and commissioning support.

The BP Lingen facility’s crude oil refining capacity totals around four million tons per annum. Output consists mainly of petrol and diesel, jet fuel, light heating oil, chemical precursor products for regional consumption and for customers based both in Germany and in the Netherlands. The company’s products are sold via BP, Aral and BP Refining & Petrochemicals.

Norbert Kleine-Eggebrecht, business unit leader at Deutsche BP, said: “The added value created from the improvement projects will serve to increase capital efficiency and support the implementation of our capital and revenue expenditure plans over the next five years.”

Johan Cnossen, president of Aker Solutions process business, said: “Aker Solutions’s experience of working with BP at Gelsenkirchen and in other long-term alliance contracts positions us well to build upon our knowledge of local site processes and, to ultimately deliver quality services and capability.”
