Fabricom Offshore Services has announced that it has been awarded a major contract by EnQuest Britain Ltd valued at over £1 million (US$1.6 million). EnQuest Britain Ltd is one of the UK’s leading independent oil and gas players and Fabricom Offshore Services is a facilities engineering company.
Under the contract, Fabricom is to support EnQuest in extending the operating life of the Thistle Alpha platform, which is located 275 miles north-north east of Aberdeen. The project will involve undertaking a significant program of modifications and upgrades. The work is part of EnQuest’s Late Life Extension strategy. Fabricom will use a team of engineers from its engineering office in Newcastle.
EnQuest, the largest UK independent producer in the UK North Sea, builds on Fabricom’s increasing portfolio of clients such as Maersk Oil UK and Talisman Energy.
“Securing this contract award opens up another exciting opportunity for Fabricom. EnQuest is an exciting, forward-thinking production company which is playing a lead role in ensuring the long-term sustainability of the North Sea, and it is a key milestone for Fabricom to become involved in supporting them with this work,” said Allan Cairns, Managing Director of Fabricom. “The contract also reinforces the growing reach of Fabricom’s dedicated engineering expertise – particularly in Aberdeen’s offshore brownfield sector where resources are considerably constrained.”
Fabricom specialises in multi-discipline engineering, design, procurement and project management supporting offshore construction, installation and commissioning. The company has a growing employee base of around 320 in its three locations which include Newcastle, Teesside and Aberdeen.
