Harkand has been selected to provide support to US-based Apache Beryl’s existing drilling campaign in Nevis South field in the UK North Sea.

Harkand will provide project management and engineering services, as well as deploying its personnel and one of its dive support vessels to install new subsea equipment for Apache.

Harkand Europe managing director David Kerr said: "In this low barrel price climate, our strong reputation for quality and operational efficiency is proving to be particularly appealing to operators in the region.

"Being selected for Apache’s latest campaign builds on the strong relationship we have established with this key operator over several years."

The latest work is part of an agreement signed between Harkand and Apache in 2014.

In 2015, the company performed tie-in work for the Nevis S67 well at the Beryl field and a midline disconnect scope under the contract.

In addition, Harkand offered support to Apache with phase 1 of the Aviat development, which included preparation work and platform tie-ins of the newly installed Aviat flowline.

Apache subsea projects manager Patrick Duggan said: "For this latest campaign, Apache have selected Harkand, which aligns with the company’s project culture of pace, innovation and excellence.

"We are committed to build upon the successful previous performances on the Nevis and Aviat work scopes and see Harkand as an ideal partner in this project."
