Petrofac has secured a contract worth $45million to support ONE (Oranje-Nassau Energie) on its newly acquired share of the Sean gas field.
The deal comes just a few days after the Dutch oil and gas producer announced its entry into the UK North Sea after snapping up 50% of the Sean field.
Sean is in the southern sector of the North Sea and ONE is now operator after acquiring its stake from Shell and Esso Exploration and Production UK, which each held 25%.
The remaining 50% is held by SSE E&P UK.
Petrofac’s contract will see it provide duty holder support services over three years, with the option of two one-year extensions.
The contract will support around 40 on and offshore jobs and will see Petrofac provide operations and maintenance services plus a range of ancillary functions.
Walter Thain, managing director, Petrofac Offshore Projects and Operations said: “ONE is entering the UK market for the first time as an offshore operator and we’re delighted to be assisting them in this process through our Duty Holder Support Services model.
“This award reflects our long track record, not just of successful operations in the Southern North Sea, but of supporting independent oil companies to make the transition to operator in the UKCS environment.
“ONE has significant ambitions as an operating company and we look forward to facilitating and supporting their future plans.”
The Sean assets comprise a manned, bridge-linked wellhead and production platform, a normally unmanned installation and a 30” export pipeline to Bacton.
