BREAKING: Bilfinger Culzean Contract Creates 300 Jobs
Bilfinger Salamis UK has been awarded a contract for provision of services in the preparation and installation of Maersk Oil North Sea’s new gas production field, Culzean, creating up to 300 jobs.
The order is for fabric maintenance scopes during the preparation and installation of the platform, including all offshore works associated with scaffolding, rope access, NDT services, insulation, blasting, coating, cleaning and similar construction support-related trades.
The Culzean field, located in the central North Sea, is expected to produce enough gas to meet 5% of total UK demand at peak production in 2020/21.
“In a competitive market, we are delighted that Maersk has chosen Bilfinger for this major project, one of the largest and most exciting North Sea developments in recent years,” said Sandy Bonner, Bilfinger Salamis UK managing director.
”This contract award enables us to further build our experience with Maersk, and allows us to continue to demonstrate our commitment to delivering safe and efficient operations on what is a highly specialised project.”
Bilfinger currently provides inspection, access, specialist cleaning and shutdown support services on all of Maersk Oil’s existing UK upstream assets.
