Plexus Holdings was awarded a contract with Centrica North Sea to supply its POS-GRIP "HG" 10,000psi adjustable production wellhead for a gas production well in the UK Southern North Sea.
Plexus has previously supplied Centrica with its wellhead equipment for a number of exploration wells in the North Sea. This contract is the first order awarded by Centrica for a production well.
Under the contract, Plexus will supply Centrica with its 18-3/4in 10,000psi wellhead and manage the interface with an existing production Xmas tree.
In addition, the company's Tersus CS casing support system and associated running tools and services will also be supplied to Centrica, and well integrity will be enhanced as the adjustable nature of POS-GRIP allows downhole casing support to be used without casing adjustment subs to space out to the wellhead.
The well will enhance production from the Chiswick platform in the UK Southern North Sea, and is due to spud around April 2018.
This order extends Plexus' good working relationship with Centrica with whom it has a four-year framework contract in place.
