GE said it will manufacture, deliver, and install its standardized surface wellhead and christmas tree systems at multiple wells within the field. The new multi-year agreement will service and support the project over the life of the field.
The christmas tree system incorporates a valve that increases the longevity of maintenance intervals, which the company said results in reduced downtime.
