Global oil and gas service company AGR is aiming to further expand its involvement in field abandonment projects. They have recently been awarded a contract to provide well abandonment project management services for an offshore field in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.
AGR’s management believe the flexibility of their approach and experience of drilling in all possible environments, including deepwater, ultra-deepwater, HPHT and sensitive and remote locations, positions them as a contractor of choice for operators seeking to close down wells. CEO AGR Åge Landro said, “There is a growing market demand globally for plug and abandonment services, with many mature fields being decommissioned and a high number of wells that require to be closed down. It is an area of offshore activity where we can offer operators experience, high levels of drilling, operational and project management expertise, and a flexible approach to meet specific project requirements. We have already delivered a number of abandonment projects in the North Sea and are very pleased to have recently secured a new assignment in the Asia Pacific area.”
