Tier 1 contractor Well-Safe Solutions and Apache Corp have signed a multi-year framework agreement to decommission wells in the North Sea, they said February 15.
The deal provides the US-based energy producer with access to Well-Safe Defender (see below) and Well-Safe Guardian to plug and abandon (P&A) its well stock. Separately Apache has secured a slot for Well-Safe Solutions to P&A subsea wells in the UK Continental Shelf.
Well-Safe Solutions said: “By building a strong track record solely in well P&A operations instead of continually switching between drilling and decommissioning, the cumulative experience gained ensures the delivery of safe and efficient operations.”
