IKM Testing’s head office at Sola, near Stavanger, will manage most of the programs aside from projects at the Skarv field in the Norwegian Sea, which will be run from the company’s branch in Kristiansund.

The contractor will have overall/EPC responsibility for nitrogen services, technical cleaning, maintenance and repair of mechanical connections during maintenance shutdowns, and will also provide operational support services and ad hoc work between shutdowns.
