Greentech Lead Europe: ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, will offer integrated service and support solutions to the Draugen and Ormen Lange oil and gas fields located the west coast of Norway. ABB has signed a service contract valued at $260 million for a period of 9 years with A/S Norske Shell.The agreement covers both the oil and gas fields, as well as future expansions, tie-ins and upgrades.  It includes the option of two consecutive two year contracts. ABB was awarded the first service contract by A/S Norske Shell in 2007 and has delivered significant annual savings over five successive years since then.

ABB’s power and automation technologies enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact.

The agreement aims at deeper integration of ABB services, competence and roles into the projects of other contractors on the customer’s plants, such as Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM).

A/S Norske Shell considers the continuous improvement of its operations from maintenance through to production as a key element to improved efficiency and success. The contract scope spans the system’s integration across the electric, instrument, control and telecommunication systems.

Earlier this month, Ethisphere Institute, a leading international organization dedicated to best practices in business ethics, added ABB to its 2013 list of the world’s most ethical companies. According to the Ethisphere Institute, ABB was recognized because of its demonstrated leadership in ethical business practices.

ABB was also chosen to supply process analyzers, system integration and related services for Cheniere Energy’s Sabine Pass LNG (liquefied natural gas) export facility which is located four miles from the Gulf Coast in southwest Louisiana in Cameron Parish.

The ABB Group of companies employs about 145,000 people and operates in around 100 countries.
