“Production on Mariner requires a high level of drilling activity and the field is reliant on a seamless and cost efficient logistics chain. Asco is a well-established player and their supply base in Peterhead is a proven, high-performing logistics hub. We are looking forward to working closely with Asco to tackle industry challenges and optimise the supply and warehousing services that we depend on for successful operations on Mariner”, says managing director for Statoil Production UK, Gunnar Breivik.
The Statoil-operated Mariner field, located approximately 150km east of the Shetland Isles, is currently under development and production is scheduled to start in 2017.
