Petrofac completes ‘Golden Eagle’ project

UK’s Petrofac has completed a project for Nexen Petroleum UK Ltd.’s Golden Eagle Development Area in the UK North Sea, delivered through its Plant Asset Management consulting business.

This involved the development and implementation of a maintenance program for the Golden Eagle installation, located 70km North East of Aberdeen. The launch of the maintenance-build work in Nexen’s SAP system follows two-and-a-half years of work with the company.

Plant Asset Management has been involved in the project from an early stage, working closely with Nexen to develop the maintenance program in preparation for first oil, Petrofac has said.

Steve Johnson, Vice President of Plant Asset Management, said: “We are proud to have forged a good working relationship with Nexen over many years. Our team of consultants is looking forward to providing ongoing support for Nexen’s North Sea assets as they progress through the asset lifecycle and Golden Eagle moves through operational phase and beyond.”

The Nexen-operated Golden Eagle project produced first oil on October 30, 2014.
