North-east wireline and well-intervention technology specialist Wireline Engineering said yesterday its global expansion plans were on track after £1.9million-worth of new contracts in the first half of 2013.
Key deals were secured in North America, southeast-Asia, west Africa and the Middle East, it added.
Wireline said local partnerships were confirmed in Nigeria, Indonesia and the Middle East, while recent orders from Angola, Indonesia, Iraq, Malaysia and Nigeria had reinforced its “continued success” worldwide.
Wireline engineering director Bill Petrie added: “It is always rewarding to see customers benefit from our products, but it’s particularly pleasing for a smaller company with specialist technologies to see the range of territories where we are winning orders.”
The company, which employs more than 40 people, said it recently completed challenging well-intervention work in the North Sea for two oil and gas majors.
It added: “Both contracts involved the successful removal and replacement of gas lift valves as part of the well-intervention programme, leading to significant time and economic savings for each company and mitigating safety risk.
The firm, founded in 1998, has its headquarters at Blackburn on the outskirts of Aberdeen. It also has offices in the US, Egypt, Abu Dhabi and Malaysia.
