RDS has landed a one year contract for Premier Oil’s Sea Lion development in the North Falklands Basin.
The firm, which is a subsidiary of KCA Deutag, will be responsible for the front-end engineering design (FEED).
The contract, which was officially awarded by AMEC, follows the delivery of a concept study developed by the RDS Houston team.
Simon Drew, president of RDS said: “The Sea Lion field will be the first major development of oil and gas reserves in the Falklands. Due to its remote location, we need to ensure that we deliver a rig that is reliable, efficient and can be easily maintained and supported to deliver safe, effective operations.
“RDS and KCA Deutag have a lot of experience in designing and operating rigs in remote locations and this is a great opportunity to put that experience to good use in a new region. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Premier Oil and AMEC as we move the Sea Lion development forward.”
