Dave McKendrick, Baker Hughes, demonstrates how industry partnership models are marking a new era for extending life of field.

The winning bids commit the company to an exploratory work programme, including geological studies, seismic and wells over a three-year phase (Phase 1) on each of the exploration contracts.

Both contracts were awarded by Baker Hughes, under a primary term of two years firm and an option to extend for another six months.

The newly elected board will operate under the leadership of chairman, Bill Edgar, and chief executive, Neil Gordon, with a focus on ensuring the UK is represented across the global subsea industry.
