International drilling contractor KCA Deutag, of Aberdeen, said yesterday it had signed two new contracts worth more than £105million.
The first is a five-year operations and maintenance deal, with extension options, for platforms offshore Angola, where KCA Deutag has had an operational presence since 2004.
Its second new contract is a 30-month extension to a drilling and maintenance service deal for work on a platform in Norway.
The firm started drilling on the Norwegian continental shelf in the 1970s and now has about 1,100 employees carrying out 10 contracts on 17 platforms there.
KCA Deutag offshore president Rune Lorentzen said: “We have an undeniably strong reputation working in these offshore regions, and these contracts will only serve to enhance this further.”
