DNV GL received a new five-year frame agreement from Aker BP covering safety, verification, inspection and classification across Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) installations, according to a Nov. 30 press release.

The contract includes options for extension. DNV GL experts will integrate into Aker BP’s organization, providing decision-making support and conducting standalone assessments.

Kjell Eriksson, regional manager for Norway at DNV GL – Oil & Gas, said that DNV GL has a long relationship with both BP Norway and Det norske oljeselskap, as they merge to form Aker BP.
