FourPhase, a solids and production performance specialist for the oil and gas sector, has secured a new master service agreement with Shell Trinidad and Tobago.
 

FourPhase says the agreement involves sand management and production optimization for Shell Trinidad & Tobago on its topside offshore oil and gas platforms in the Caribbean.

 
“With our previous operations in the region, we have shown that our technology can be deployed successfully in the Caribbean," said FourPhase CFO Lasse Byrkjeland. "With several projects confirmed for 2025, we’re predicting a significant increase in this strategically important region.”
 
The demand for solids management services is growing in the region due to sand-related production losses, the company said. Many wells are choked back or shut in due to high sand levels, but FourPhase says effective sand management can help increase operator’s production and margins in the Caribbean. 
 
FourPhase has also inked two other contracts in the region for another global supermajor in the Americas. This includes one other master service agreement and a new contract for a plug and abandonment intervention, together with coiled tubing.
 
Moreover, FourPhase has opened a new office in Houston.
