Amec has landed a two-year contract in the North Sea for BP worth up to £30million.
The two-year integrated services renewal involves the international engineering and project-management company providing operations, maintenance and project support to the Forties pipeline system.
The contract is valued at £10-£15million a year, depending on activity.
Amec said it would take on increased responsibility to run, maintain and improve the year-round, 24-hour operation of the Unity platform and four onshore pumping stations which form a major part of the system. It said there would be additional recruitment as and when required.
Mike Horgan, managing director of Amec’s asset-management business, said: “We have been supporting the Forties Pipeline System for 16 years and this latest contract is testament to our continued delivery of excellence for BP. We are pleased to be continuing our long-term relationship with BP and supporting it to meet the needs of the central North Sea’s oil and gas development.”
The pipeline system has a capacity of more than 750,000 barrels per day and carries about 40% of the UK’s oil production.
