London Stock Exchange-listed energy player EnQuest has awarded engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services provider Nexos, formerly known as Global E&C, with a contract for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) services for its offshore assets on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).
As part of the award that covers the Thistle and Magnus platforms, Nexos said it takes responsibility for core crew HVAC roles, ensuring continuity of service while complying with TUPE regulations.
“This award marks a key step in our expanding relationship with EnQuest. By consolidating multiple services under one service contractor, we’re helping our clients achieve cost efficiency and strong operational consistency,” said Nexos’ VP of Customer Relations and Strategy, Derek Mitchell .
“This new contract, combined with nexos’ existing engagements for redeveloping the Sullom Voe Terminal as the EPC contractor, and ongoing offshore engineering and repair services contracts, forms part of a strategic approach to vendor rationalisation. By harnessing multiple service contracts under a single, cohesive partnership, nexos enables clients to reduce the complexity of supplier management, streamline logistics, and achieve cost savings without compromising on service delivery.”
Earlier this year EnQuest secured the offer of carbon storage licenses as part of the UK’s first-ever round of carbon sequestration licenses issued by the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA).
The license offers are within application areas known as Northern North Sea 1 and Northern North Sea 2, located some 99 miles northeast of Shetland, which include the Magnus and Thistle fields, operated by EnQuest, as well as the non-operated Tern and Eider fields.
In May, the company reported that drilling activity was to return to Magnus in the second half of 2024, with two sidetrack wells and multiple-scale squeeze activities planned before the end of the year.
