Well-Safe Solutions and NMC Energy are betting a standing alliance wins more decommissioning work than one-off contracts. The two companies signed a strategic partnership agreement to expand their work together, covering the recently awarded Apache Beryl and Forties well decommissioning contracts and the pursuit of future project collaboration.
Scope of the partnership
Under the agreement, Well-Safe Solutions and NMC Energy will provide operators with subsea and platform interface services. That includes pipeline and flowline flushing, platform integration of decommissioning equipment such as modular platform rig solutions, Engineering Down and Clean (EDC), and topside preparation for heavy lift operations.
The partnership builds on a working relationship the two companies already have on Apache's decommissioning of the Beryl and Forties fields in the North Sea. NMC Energy previously won a separate contract on that project covering integration, commissioning and topside decommissioning services.
Well-Safe Solutions Chief Executive Officer Phil Milton described the strategic agreement as a natural progression, pointing to NMC Energy's track record on the Apache work.
