Plexus Holdings has received an additional purchase order from Det Norske to supply surface wellhead and mudline equipment services for an exploration well offshore Norway.
The company will supply the equipment for the well which will be drilled using the Maersk Interceptor Jackup class rig.
This will be the eighth Det Norske well to use Plexus’ wellhead equipment in the past four years.
Plexus’ chief executive Ben Van Bilderbeek said: “What makes this latest order with Det norske particularly encouraging is that it has been awarded at a time when drilling activity in the
North Sea and other hydrocarbon regions has dropped off sharply on the back of the volatile oil price environment.
“Together with the contracts we were awarded in Oman and Malaysia earlier in the year, we have now won three contracts in the first two months of 2016.
“In our view, this demonstrates the established support for our best in class wellhead equipment among blue chip operators, particularly in regions where exploration drilling activity is taking place and where we have long-standing relationships, and also that we will continue to secure market share when exploration drilling activity picks up as it inevitably will.”
Last month, Plexus revealed it had signed a deal with Talisman in Malaysia to supply a wellhead system for an offshore exploration well.
