Engineering firm Plexus has landed a £750,000 deal to provide wellhead equipment services for Centrica on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
The Aberdeen-based firm will supply its proprietary Pos-Grip equipment for a low-pressure appraisal well, with work due to start this month.
The deal marks Plexus’ second with Centrica, after a previous project with the company’s UK arm, and will last until February next year.
“Centrica used Plexus’ wellhead equipment to drill their first well offshore Norway which was followed by a further seven wells on the Maersk Guardian jack-up rig – all drilled using Plexus POS-GRIP equipment,” said chief executive Ben Van Bilderbeek.
“This latest order is for a low pressure well and also highlights how our equipment, which has proved itself in terms of safety, reliability and performance in over 300 wells worldwide, a large number in HPHT operating environments, is also suited to less extreme drilling conditions.”
