IKM Acona has been awarded a framework agreement with Vår Energi for the delivery of drilling and wells services on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The agreement has a duration of four years, with options for an additional 2 + 2 years.

The agreement covers support and advisory services within drilling and wells, including engineering studies, procedures, reporting, and project support.

The scope of work includes activities within subsurface, rig intake, drilling, completion, well testing, intervention, well integrity, and plugging.

“This is a very important framework agreement for us and a clear confirmation of our position within this important discipline on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. This assignment shows that we are well aligned in terms of competence, capacity, and execution capability,” says Bengt

Hope, CEO of IKM Acona. The framework agreement facilitates ongoing support for Vår Energi’s drilling and well activities through flexible access to specialised expertise.

“We will contribute multidisciplinary teams capable of delivering independent project support with high quality and efficiency. This is an area where we have built strong experience over time,” says Hope.

The services will primarily be delivered as integrated project and engineering support from onshore, with a focus on safe, cost-efficient, and robust execution of operations. We truly look forward to a strong collaboration under this framework agreement, and we thank Vår Energi for their trust.
