Great Yarmouth-based Simmons Edeco — a supplier of well-head and valve maintenance, asset integrity solutions and onshore drilling services to the global oil and gas industry — has been awarded a major contract by Maersk Oil.

It is to provide both scheduled and unscheduled well-head maintenance services for all Maersk Oil wells in the Danish North Sea.

The company will also refurbish valves and well-head maintenance equipment — and manage consignment stock.
The five-year contract, which commenced on 1 June, features three one-year options to renew.

Simmons Edeco is supporting the contract from its new operations base in Esbjerg, Denmark — home to Maersk Oil’s Danish Business Unit.

Gavin Sherwood, business development manager at Simmons Edeco, said: “We are pleased to have been given the opportunity by Maersk Oil to contribute to the smooth operation of their wells in the Danish North Sea, and we look forward to working with them.

“While Simmons Edeco has a long history of operations in the North Sea, this is the first time the company
has worked for Maersk Oil.”
