Kvaerner Oilfield Products will utilize the existing facility of Kvaerner Process Systems (KPS) in Shah Alam, Kuala Lumpur, to create a fully compliant subsea systems manufacturing and fabrication facility.

This new expansion will allow Kvaerner Oilfield Products to fully serve the subsea systems, surface wellhead/completions and the subsea control markets in the South East Asia region.

"By combining the resources of the Aker Kvaerner group of companies, this will strengthen Kvaerner Oilfield Products ability to execute existing and future projects in this region" says Rick Hill, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing.
