bp awards Wood multi-region contract to support efficient and safe energy production

Wood has been awarded a multi-region engineering services contract by bp to support efficient and safe energy production through the provision of asset repairs, modifications and enhancements.

The five-year reimbursable contract, valued at around $350m, will be delivered via agile working methods to optimise cost and delivery performance, enabling operational efficiencies to be realised across bp’s offshore installations.

This agreement renews Wood’s existing contracts in the regions to support bp to produce energy safely, efficiently, and reliably, as the world contends with the dual challenges of energy security and transition.

Craig Shanaghey, Executive President of Operations at Wood, said: “This opportunity is exciting for Wood because it has allowed us to think big, knowing that with bp’s own bold ambitions, we can help meet the world’s energy needs as efficiently as possible. Being able to truly leverage the breadth of experience and capability from right across our business will allow us to provide a solution that delivers transformational results.

“We have an extensive track record with bp and, for the first time, this multi-region approach allows us to combine these contracts into one single delivery model that puts exceptional execution, innovation, and simplification at its heart.“

Brian Chalmers, responsible for Wood’s global relationship with bp and President of Strategy and Development for Operations, said: “I am delighted that we will have the opportunity to drive a step change in the performance of bp’s offshore portfolio.

“We have proven that when we work in partnership, we can deliver transformational outcomes that support bp’s ambition to drive higher efficiency and productivity across their assets.”

This multi-region contract will be led by Wood’s Operations business unit with a centralised contract management team and local delivery teams, supported by Wood’s global execution centre.

Petrofac secures BP maintenance and metering contracts

Petrofac is set to build on its provision of digitally enhanced services for BP, following the award of a three-year extension to its existing maintenance contract and a new four-year metering contract.

The metering services contract includes on and offshore consulting and support services. Under the agreement, Petrofac will continue to harness digital technology to drive improvements and increase efficiencies for BP.

Under the terms of the maintenance agreement, Petrofac will continue to provide campaign inspection and maintenance services on the Operator’s North Sea assets, many of which Petrofac has supported for the last decade.

In 2019, Petrofac worked with BP to prove new execution techniques. Combining use of Digital Twin technology, Connected Worker and Petrofac’s proprietary software, BuildME™, Petrofac digitalised all forms of campaign maintenance and inspection activity – achieving significant productivity gains compared to industry standards – and continues to work with BP to extend the benefits of this approach to other applications.

Nick Shorten, Managing Director, Petrofac Engineering and Production Services, West, said:

“We are proud to build on our long-standing relationship with BP, who have been an early adopter of our digital execution processes. We look forward to building on the gains made through this approach and establishing our metering services provision.”

Maersk Drilling Won Three-Well Contract Offshore Trinidad by BP

Maersk Drilling has secured a three-well contract for the Maersk Discoverer semisubmersible with BP for development drilling at the Matapal project offshore Trinidad and Tobago. The contract has an estimated duration of 322 days and is expected to commence in July 2020. The value of the firm contract is approximately $78 million, including a mobilization fee. The contract contains an additional one-well option.

“It is obviously exciting for us to see the Maersk Discoverer go to Trinidad for BP, for whom the rig has performed successful operations offshore Egypt for the last six years, including the shallowest water well ever drilled in dynamic positioning mode for both BP and Maersk Drilling, which delivered significant cost savings to the customer,” Morten Kelstrup, COO of Maersk Drilling, said. “We are very pleased that BP is recognizing Maersk Discoverer’s qualities by re-signing the rig for this new campaign.”

The Maersk Discoverer is a DSS-21 column-stabilized dynamically positioned semisubmersible drilling rig, able to operate in water depths up to 10,000 ft. It is currently operating offshore Egypt.
