ESVAGT extends operations in the UK production market
A new agreement with Petrofac strengthens ESVAGT’s presence in the highly competitive UK production market.
The ‘Esvagt Cobra’ will be chartered to Petrofac Facilities Management Limited in the Kittiwake field in the UK sector from the middle of October 2017.
The contract, which runs for two years with the option for a further year, strengthens ESVAGT’s presence in the production market in the UK,” says Jens Bagger, Chartering Manager:
”We are well represented in exploration in the UK but have wanted to expand our engagement in the production market for some time. ESVAGT has been building a strong relationship with Petrofac’s exploration department for several years and we are pleased that this working relationship will now be extended into the production market,” says Jens Bagger.
The ’Esvagt Cobra’ will assist Petrofac with standby duties on the Kittiwake production installation.
”It is positive that we can set a contract for a period of time in this challenged market. It reflects the respect there is for ESVAGT and the belief that we bring value. ESVAGT has never left a site because of weather conditions, and ESVAGT represents an extended working window that is very important for our customers,” says Jens Bagger.
