Atkins to provide engineering support to Chevron in Australia

Atkins has been awarded a contract with Chevron Australia to provide engineering support services for the oil and gas major’s Western Australian-based assets.

Atkins noted that the agreement includes provision of a range of onshore and offshore engineering services to support Chevron’s assets.

Atkins’ Perth-based team of more than 50 expert oil and gas engineers is supported by global oil and gas teams in the UK and Houston, Texas, the company said.

Nick Wells, operations director of Atkins’ oil and gas Asia Pacific business, said: “We are looking forward to delivering innovative work across the lifecycle of Chevron’s assets covered in this agreement. Our decade of experience in the Australian oil and gas sector puts us in an ideal position to support our clients in this region.”

The contract builds on Atkins’s portfolio of work in the Australia region including the Ichthys LNG project, offshore Western Australia, as well as other recent wins for Atkins’s global oil and gas business including a framework agreement with GDF Suez covering the full lifecycle of consultancy services, and a multi-disciplinary pre-FEED decommissioning contract with Centrica Energy.
