Energy industry contractor Petrofac has added a third field and extended the scope of its existing contract to decommission two fields, offshore Gulf of Mexico.
A significant contract expansion lifts the legacy offshore fields and assets to 12 platforms, 211 wells and 32 pipeline segments, as well as operations and logistics services. The scope includes the safe, efficient, and assured decommissioning of the fields and operation of the fields during the execution of the decommissioning work.
“This sizable contract expansion recognises our industry-leading decommissioning programme management experience and our differentiated in-house capability to manage all well and asset decommissioning phases. Through this and other decommissioning projects, Petrofac is actively and sustainably contributing to the energy transition globally,” said Nick Shorten, chief operating officer for Petrofac’s asset solutions business.
Petrofac said it will use its decommissioning programme management systems, tools, and processes to deliver the project. The company’s integrated local team, wider global decommissioning organisation and supply chain partners have collectively plugged and abandoned more than 2,300 wells and decommissioned over 250 facilities.
