AF Gruppen : Extends service and maintenance contract

Equinor is exercising the option on the framework agreement for service and maintenance of its ventilation and refrigeration systems (HVAC-R) with AF AeronMollier.

The framework agreement includes maintenance and modification work in Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC-R) on a selection of Equinor's fixed installations in the North Sea and onshore. The framework agreement ensures Equinor expertise in HVAC-R and will extend for two years from 1 July 2021.

- 'Good ventilation and refrigeration are vital safety factors in petroleum production. Since 2007 we have had framework agreements for the maintenance and modification of HVAC-R systems on Equinor's installations both onshore and offshore. Together with Equinor we will contribute to the best possible technical and future-proof solutions for reliable operation and energy saving in the

HVAC-R systems. We are looking forward to continuing the good partnership,' says Morten Pettersen, general manager of AF AeronMollier.

HVAC-R, or the ventilation and refrigeration system on a platform is all about safety.The HVAC-R systems on a platform therefore require continuous service. At the same time, maintenance must impact production as little as possible. AF AeronMollier has for several years developed expertise on these types of systems both offshore and in the marine sector.

The framework agreement establishes the contract terms for work related to maintenance and modification during the term of the contract.
