Claxton Centralizers for Gina Krog

Claxton Engineering Services, an Acteon company, has been awarded a contract with Statoil to supply conductor and internal centralizers to a minimum of 14 wells on the Gina Krog development, offshore Norway.

The contract was finalised in December 2014, and first delivery is scheduled for March 2015. Claxton is responsible for the design, fabrication, testing and installation of the units.

Vegard Dale, business development manager, Claxton, said, “Winning this order reinforces our position as the premier supplier of centralizers in the North Sea and underlines our capacity to understand new challenges and devise solutions.”

Conductor centralizers form the interface between the platform jacket and well conductor, assuring vital integrity over the working life of the conductor. According to Claxton, the company has supplied and installed more than 5000 conductor guide centralizers in North Sea.
