Petrofac, the UAE-linked international service provider to the oil and gas produc-tion and processing industry, has been awarded a contract by Hess, a leading independent energy company, for the well-plugging and abandonment of four wells within the Rubie and Renee oilfields in the Central sector of Britain’s North
Sea. The wells lie offshore around 200 km north-east
of Aberdeen.
The wells, which were previously shut-in as part of an earlier decommissioning phase, will now be fully abandoned. Petrofac will be responsible for detailed planning, direct procurement and management of
all sub-contracted services, including provision of a semi-submersible rig.
The value of the contract was not disclosed. Petrofac has operational centres in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, as well as in Aberdeen and Woking in the UK and in India, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia.
