The company has crossed another significant operational milestone with the completion of P-71, its second floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel project for Tupi B.V.

The contracts will take effect before the end of 2022, have a three-year firm period, and three one-year options. The vessels will support Equinor’s activities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

On 10 October at 20:00 local time, the new platform in Brazil, Peregrino C, produced its very first oil.

Over 80% of the contract value will flow back into the UAE’s economy under ADNOC’s in-country value programme.

The new energy-saving and storage system will hybridise the vessel which currently has a total installed power of 27 MW and DP3 classification and is suitable for worldwide operations in water depths up to 3000 m.

The award is for the provision of jack-up and island rigs and associated Integrated Drilling Services (IDS).

Petrofac has officially taken over operatorship of the Northern Endeavour FPSO facility on behalf of the Australian Government. This major milestone is a huge step in the landmark decommissioning contract which heralds the start of an era of decommissioning in the nation’s offshore oil and gas sector.

95% supported strike action in a ballot turnout of 86% after Unite accused oil and gas companies of ‘unfettered profiteering.’ The strike action will involve a series of 48-hour stoppages every second week for the first 8 weeks and will start on 20 and 21 October.

The contracts are part of a longer-term Alliance Agreement with CHC which will enable Neptune and CHC to optimise flight scheduling and route planning, and reduce the total number of offshore flights.

ADC Energy has secured a contract worth more than US$1 million to deliver baseline condition assessments for five vessels for a North American company.
