Reported scope and milestone
Aker Solutions: Aker Solutions announced on 5 May 2026 that Equinor had awarded a front-end engineering and design contract for the Atlantis subsea tie-in.
Engineering interpretation
The FEED work prepares the Kvitebjørn platform for the tie-in and supports the project definition before any later execution decision. This is a study/design phase, not a construction award or completed tie-in.
Delivery responsibilities
A design study converts an owner’s objectives into an engineering basis that can be priced, reviewed and taken into subsequent execution. Process balances, utilities, constructability and tender packages must be consistent before contracts advance. The design team should identify unresolved interfaces and decisions that remain with the owner. Selecting a study provider is evidence of technical development, not confirmation of a final investment decision, a construction start or operating capacity. Dates quoted as future plans retain that status until a separate milestone is reported.
