Bristow Group today announced a three-year contract extension until August 2024 with Aker BP to support air transportation crew change services for their operations in the Norwegian continental shelf.

Bristow has been an Aker BP (former BP Norge) aviation partner for more than 15 years and will use its fleet of existing S-92s in Norway to provide crew change flights out of Bristow's base in Sola, Norway.  Bristow's current contract with Aker BP expires on August 31, 2021.  The contract extension includes an option to extend another year.

"Aker BP was a great partner in this process and took a long-term business approach to their procurement of these safety critical services. We are committed to providing the safest and most efficient service to Aker BP in support of their exploration and production activities," said Heidi Wulff Heimark, Bristow Managing Director/Accountable Manager in Stavanger, Norway. "We are especially honoured by their trust and confidence in us and that this contract extension will bring long-term stability and maintains efficiencies in the service."

Aker BP is an oil company that explores, develops fields and produces oil and gas on the Norwegian continental shelf. They are the operator of the Alvheim, Ivar Aasen, Skarv, Ula and Valhall field centres, and a partner in the Johan Sverdrup field.
