GR Engineering Services Limited (GR Engineering) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Upstream Production Solutions (Upstream PS) has entered into an agreement with the Department of Industry, Science, Energy, and Resources of the Australian Government (Department) to provide operations and maintenance services to the Northern Endeavour floating production, storage, and off-take facility.
The Department announced that urgent steps were underway to secure the continued safety and security of the Northern Endeavour FPSO after the liquidation of the Northern Oil and Gas Australia group of companies (NOGA). It also announced the establishment of the Northern Endeavour Temporary Operations Program to provide funding to support the operation and maintenance of the Northern Endeavour (Program).
As part of the Program, the Department recently engaged the Upstream PS to provide operations and maintenance services that will reinstate minimum manning and restore safety-critical services to the Northern Endeavour. Upstream PS has since safely remobilised personnel to the FPSO and is proceeding under an initial short term contract to provide services to the Department on commercial terms, in a non-production environment.
