UK supermajor BP and Edison Chouest Offshore have created a new 30-month for a “broad range of services” in the Gulf of Mexico.
Items in the alliance agreement include a three-year extension for utilization of BP’s Gulf of Mexico preservation and maintenance facility, designed and built by Chouest, and located just northwest of Houma, LA.
Additionally, the vessel alliance includes a new 312ft new generation, purpose-built platform supply vessel specifically designed for delivery of supplies to BP’s Gulf of Mexico production platforms. The vessel is currently under construction at Chouest’s Houma shipyard, LaShip, and scheduled for delivery within the next several months.
Chouest and BP have enjoyed a business alliance for over eight years, and the new alliance will continue to include Chouest affiliates ECO (vessel services), C-Port (multi-service terminal facilities in Louisiana’s Port Fourchon) and C-Logistics (logistics coordination, expediting and tracking cargo movement), says Edison Chouest.
“We are honored to build upon our many years of operating together in the Gulf of Mexico and worldwide,” says ECO President and CEO Gary Chouest. “We will continue to work with BP to uphold the superior standard of service and safety culture that both companies have adopted, and is second to none in our industry.”
