Fossil Energy – Oseberg East
Baker Hughes will provide Equinor plug and abandonment (P&A) services in the Oseberg East field on Norway’s continental shelf.
Baker Hughes’ Mature Assets Solutions team will lead the integrated P&A campaign planning phase, as well as deliver integrated P&A services in execution across several wells in the North Sea.
Baker Hughes has a history of successful integrated P&A projects, as well as its innovative portfolio of Mature Assets Solutions with a proven track record of increasing efficiency, accelerating timelines, and reducing total operating costs. Through this integrated P&A program, Baker Hughes will plug and abandon wells and provide project management services on behalf of Equinor.
“Our Mature Assets Solutions experts are well equipped to manage every phase of P&A and optimize operations to meet Equinor’s well abandonment goals,” said Amerino Gatti, executive vice president of Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes. “As this project unfolds, we will collectively unlock new efficiencies that set new standards for well abandonment solutions, providing cost-effective solutions to Equinor through collaboration, technology, optimization, and integration.”
Baker Hughes’ differentiating well abandonment portfolio includes cutting-edge technologies, such as PRIME Powered Mechanical Applications, CICM (Casing Integrity & Cement Mapping), MASTODON™ casing retrieval system, and the Xtreme SJI mechanical slotting tool. Planning for Oseberg East is now underway, and the execution is scheduled to begin in 2026.
