ABERDEEN oil services company Proserv has won contracts in Asia and Western Australia worth around $4 million (£3.1m) in total, as it continues to target decommissioning work.
Proserv noted the contracts related to its well severance, and platform and floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit decommissioning services.
Contracts have been awarded to Proserv by Premier Oil in Indonesia, and by Chevron, through Baker Hughes, in the Gulf of Thailand. The Aberdeen company has also won contracts from BHP, through Fugro, in Western Australia, and from PCPP Operating Company, through Sapura Technology Solutions, in Malaysia.
Proserv, which is owned by US private equity firm Riverstone Holdings, employs nearly 1,300 around the world.
Mathieu Al Kharfan, Proserv’s region president for Asia Pacific, said: “We are delighted to have secured these awards, which builds on our 40-year track record in this sector.”
He added: “These recent wins are also a sign of our growing reputation as a decommissioning services partner in the region.”
Proserv said it would provide abrasive-cutting, cold-cutting and dredging services, and develop custom-tooling solutions to support client engineering and decommissioning challenges.
It added that the latest contract awards built upon decommissioning successes for the company globally in recent months with around $12m worth of work now secured in the Asia-Pacific region, the UK, Scandinavia and the Gulf of Mexico.
Proserv operates in 12 countries, through 22 operating centres.
