OEG has secured a long-term multi-million-dollar contract extension with a global operator to support its offshore drilling operations in the Bass Strait field, Australia, until the end of field life, expected to be in 2036.

Reinforcing a long-standing partnership between the two organisations, the agreement, will see OEG supply and manufacture 200 specialist DNV (2.7-1) certified offshore Cargo Carrying Units (CCUs), from its Barry Beach facility in Victoria, Australia.

Six OEG personnel will provide full-service inspection, maintenance and repair of the units when required, as well as crane and lifting services.

With the addition of this new contract, the total number of OEG CCUs and serviced units supporting the operator’s offshore operations in the region will increase to approximately 700.

Beau Robins, Regional Director for Australia and New Zealand at OEG, said: “This contract extension reflects a longstanding relationship built over many years. It also highlights the value of long-term rental agreements in supporting operational planning and equipment availability, reducing unplanned maintenance and helping operators improve efficiency while preserving capital through to end of field life.”

He added: “OEG’s CCUs are widely recognised for their innovative design and benchmark-setting performance. We look forward to continuing to support operations across Australia with reliable, certified equipment and consistent service.” -OGN/ TradeArabia News Service
