for an extra year) covers internal and
external telecommunications systems
for Statoil’s offshore operations on
the Norwegian continental shelf.

ABB’s oil, gas and petrochemical

maintenance, includes pilot studies,
construction, testing, installation and
commissioning of modifications to
telecommunications systems on all
of Statoil’s offshore installations.
