Furthermore, the company will serve as well operator for the project.

In 2016, Petrofac was selected to permanently abandon two wells for Tullow Oil on its Horne & Wren asset, resulting in cost savings of $2.5m.

The company enhanced its capability as a well operator by leveraging its outsourced service operator model and its experience in well project management.

As a well operator, Petrofac can provide a standalone or integrated approach to the management of wells, installation and pipeline operations.
