Offshore staff

LONDON – Tamarind Taranaki has contracted Petrofac’s Engineering and Production Services division to provide well project management services for the Tui Phase 3 drilling project offshore New Zealand’s North Island.

Petrofac’s team will undertake detailed well design and planning, subsea support, HSE management, and logistics for the Tui oilfields west of Taranaki.

Tamarind acquired ownership of the Tui oilfields earlier this year. The Phase 3 drilling project is part of the company’s wider strategy to prolong the life of the Tui field beyond 2019.

Colin Finnegan, well engineering regional director, Petrofac Engineering and Production Services, said: “We will work closely with our new client to deliver a safe and cost-efficient drilling program that maximizes value and ultimately extends field life.”
