Well-Safe Solutions will be moving into a new larger headquarters in Aberdeen, following a landmark contract win and acquisition of its first asset.
The decommissioning company, set up in 2017, said it has invested several million in its new building, having already outgrown its current Aberdeen offices.
Established to provide a unique Tier 1 well abandonment service, Well-Safe Solutions recently acquired a semisubmersible drilling rig, the Well-Safe Guardian, and has been awarded a contract to decommission up to 21 wells on the DNO-operated Schooner and Ketch fields in the UK Southern North Sea.
Graeme Murray, Legal & Commercial Director at Well-Safe, said, “We are now ready to take the next step towards growing the business. We are delighted to have found an ideal building that will give our employees a great working environment. It also will give us very quick access to our Dundee marine base, and with the new bypass, will make it much easier for all our employees to travel to and from the site.”
The facility has the capability to house more than 200 people over two floors, with Well-Safe initially taking over the top floor with the option to expand downstairs giving sufficient capacity to accommodate continued growth over the next five years.
Murray added, “This significant investment demonstrates the company’s desire to become a global leader in the well decommissioning space.”
The company said it is gearing up for further contract awards and is in the final process of selecting a number of assets that it will purchase to enhance its complete well plug and abandonment package offering.
