Statoil awards Mariner drilling and well services contract
to
Schlumberger Oilfield UK
2014-12-19 - Statoil has on behalf of the Mariner
co-venturers awarded the contract for integrated drilling and well
services on the Mariner field on the UK continental shelf (UKCS) to
Schlumberger Oilfield UK Plc.
“This is a very significant agreement
for the Mariner project, and the result of an innovative, new procurement
approach, where the supplier will work as an integrated part of the
Statoil team delivering most of the drilling and well services on the
Mariner field,” says managing director for Statoil Production UK, Gunnar
Breivik.
From its Aberdeen base, Schlumberger will deliver all the
main drilling and well services for Mariner, including drilling,
completion, electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), cement and fluids.
A total of 22 drilling and well services are included in the scope,
including a logistics support responsibility that goes beyond the normal
scope for similar Statoil contracts.
The contract will commence in
January 2015 and has a duration of four years, plus options for several
additional four-year periods.
The Mariner field, located
approximately 150 kilometres east of the Shetland Isles, is currently
under development by operator Statoil and its co-venturers JX Nippon and
Dyas.
Mariner is the largest field development on the UKCS in more
than a decade, and will be in production for at least 30 years. Drilling
is planned to start in 2016 with production start-up following in 2017.
The main Mariner platform will have one drilling rig and one well
intervention and completion unit. In addition, a new-build jack-up rig
will be located next to the Mariner installation, working through well
slots on the platform for the first four years. Over the field’s lifetime
as many as 130 well targets are planned.
“The aim for this contract
is a long-term partnership with a performance-based compensation format
rewarding actual performance — metres drilled and completed — rather than
usage of time and material. Together we will now establish an integrated
operations team in our Aberdeen office, working closely with both the
service supplier and the drilling contractor Odfjell and rig contractor
Noble to plan and optimise operations. We will work side by side to meet
the challenges in the market, driving performance, creating value and
dividing risk,” says Breivik.
The contract with Schlumberger also
includes options for Bressay, another Statoil-operated field on the UKCS,
currently in the concept evaluation phase. Furthermore, it will also work
as a framework agreement for exploration drilling on UKCS where Statoil
has the option to use Schlumberger for any of the drilling and well
services covered by the scope of the contract
