Petrofac secured a well management contract for Phase 1 of Independent Oil and Gas plc’s Core Project.
Petrofac will support IOG’s development of the Southwark, Blythe and Elgood fields in the UK Southern North Sea.
The five-well contract scope covers the planning, execution and close-out phases of the Phase 1 drilling programme, with Petrofac intended to act as Well Operator on behalf of IOG, a role it has performed for nine other companies in the UK North Sea.
The planning phase includes detailed well design, risk assessment and management of well-related regulatory requirements. During the execution phase Petrofac will manage well engineering, procurement and logistics, assure well construction and integrity, and provide onshore and offshore personnel to support the drilling campaign.
