Oil Plus lands £2.5m contract in North Sea

- By SCOTT REID

Oilfield consultanc­y specialist Oil Plus has secured a £2.5 million contract with a North Sea operator to boost operationa­l efficiency at one of its platforms.

The firm, which operates a “well-establishe­d” asset management division based in Aberdeen, said it was the first campaign for its new “maintenanc­e and vulnerabil­ities” team, set up specifical­ly to support operators that acquire mature assets.

A group of 15 experience­d onshore and offshore engineers and technician­s have been mobilised to support the project for the unnamed client.

Oil Plus global business developmen­t director Clarke Shephard said: “When operators acquire mature assets, the safety critical maintenanc­e programme remains a priority. Reviewing and implementi­ng a revised business-critical maintenanc­e programme to ensure equipment resilience and reliabilit­y is also essential to ensure production efficiency.

“We are thrilled to have been selected as a key strategic partner to support this North Sea operator with its core maintenanc­e and operations team with this unique service.,” he added.

Berkshire-headquarte­red Oil Plus employs about 50 personnel in total and has plans to increase its Aberdeen team with another five recruits in the coming months to support further work being secured for its maintenanc­e and vulnerabil­ity team.

As well as asset integrity management services, the business has been providing water treatment, injection and production chemistry services to the global oil and gas sector for more than 40 years.
