EXPRO SECURES $10MILLION WELL SERVICES CONTRACT EXTENSIONFROM APACHE NORTH SEA


M2 SUBSEA AWARDED INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED DNV-GL CERTIFICATIONS


M2 Subsea, the global independent provider of ROV services, has been awarded a raft of industry certifications from DNV-GL for its management system standards, just seven months after starting up.


Leading international oilfield services company Expro, has secured a $10million well services contract extension with Apache North Sea.


The contract covers a range of well services including slickline, cased hole services and pumping services, as well as support in delivering coiled tubing services. This utilises a multi-skilled crew covering the UK North Sea Forties platforms, ensuring a consistently high approach to safety and service quality.


Expro has worked with Apache since 2004 and after securing the initial well services contract in 2009, has now been awarded two further one-year extensions (to 2019).


Commenting on the major award, UK Area Manager, Gary Sims, said:


“As one of the world’s largest well intervention companies, we remain committed to maintaining our strong working relationship with Apache.


“Our 40 years of experience mean that we are ideally placed to support this comprehensive range of intervention related services, providing a safe and cost-effective approach to maximise incremental production from mature assets.


“Expro can also provide additional cased hole services on demand, avoiding costly downtime, ensuring our customers receive the fast response times they need in an increasingly cost sensitive market place.”


The Aberdeen headquartered company received two of the internationally recognised ISO certifications for its quality management systems, both to the latest 2015 standards. The ISO 9001: 2015 promotes the adoption of a process approach and underpins M2 Subsea’s commitment to consistency, continual improvement and customer satisfaction. The accreditation was awarded following an independent assessment of M2 Subsea’s quality management.


The ISO 14001: 2015, which is aligned with the 9001: 2015, sets the requirements for environmental management systems. The accreditation covers business areas including operations, leadership, planning and support to ensure the company meets all environmental objectives as part of its daily operations.


Mike Arnold, Chief Executive Officer of M2 Subsea, commented: “We are thrilled to have achieved a number of DNV-GL accredited certifications, only seven months after M2 Subsea was launched. The certificates are a huge testament to the quality of work our teams have already provided and our continued efforts for improvement.”


M2 Subsea also received the OHSAS 18001: 2007 certificate which is an internationally recognised standard for Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management systems. The certification supports businesses in implementing the policies, procedures and controls required to achieve the best possible working conditions and workplace health and safety.


Mr Arnold continued: “Safety and environment is one of our core values and is always at the forefront of our operations. We achieve this through management, training, processes and a passion to deliver. To be able to assure our clients with an official accreditation is fantastic news for M2 Subsea.”
