THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Shell has awarded a three-year offshore maintenance contract covering nine oil and gas platforms across the Gulf of Mexico deepwater basin.

Bilfinger will be responsible for all routine maintenance services and fabrication, with an option to extend the arrangement for a further two years.

The company claims to have supported most offshore providers in the US for more than 35 years with maintenance, ISP (insulation, scaffolding, painting) and non-destructive testing services.

A team from Bilfinger Inc. in North America will take on all routine mechanical maintenance-related work, including in-house piping and module fabrication, scaffolding, and rope access services for the platforms, with about 100 employees working full time on a rotational basis.

In addition, the company has the option to competitively bid selectively on other large-scale projects.
