Services will include drilling, completion, recompletion, well intervention, maintenance, engineering and future P&A work.

The five-year firm contract starts this spring with two three-year optional periods. Estimated value of the firm period is NOK400 million ($38 million) and NOK1 billion ($95 million) including all options.

Odfjell Technology has also secured a contract from OSM Thome to perform upgrade and modification services on the Heidrun B FSU in the Norwegian Sea, owned by Heidrun operator Equinor and its partners.

The company will provide engineering, construction and installation services, including a new volatile organic compounds recovery system and replacement of an existing crane, to improve the FSU’s safety and technical condition.

Although the contracted work actually started in May 2022, it is now formalized via the modification contract with OSM Thome. Work is due to be completed in early 2027.

OSM Thome is responsible for the daily operations and maintenance of the FSU and its technical integrity. OSM Thome has also entered a sub-contract with Odfjell Engineering concerning the provisions of the modification work.
