Engineering and project-management company Amec said yesterday it was to provide environmental and related consulting services for BP assets worldwide.
The framework deal, understood to be in the multimillion-pound category, covers all of the oil giant’s upstream, refining/marketing, alternative energy and shipping businesses.
Amec already had an environmental services framework contract with BP in North America.
The company said its new deal, which runs until 2017, effectively created a global, master environmental service agreement with BP.
It means Amec, which employs about 4,000 people in Aberdeen and in the North Sea out of a global workforce of more than 29,000 in 40 countries, will be called on as required to provide services including emergency-response and continuity planning, remediation engineering, decommissioning, waste management and environmental services.
Ron Reeves, Amec oil and gas-sector leader, said: “This is an important development in our strategic relationship with key customer BP, drawing on our global in-house environmental capability to provide an even more comprehensive service to them.”
Amec also has global agreements with BP for engineering and project-management services for both offshore and onshore oil and gas projects.
