Fugro awarded Chevron Indonesia contract

PT. Fugro Indonesia (PTFI) has been awarded a contract to supply Site Survey and Positioning Services to Chevron Indonesia in support of its oil and gas exploration and production facilities, offshore East Kalimantan, parent company Fugro N.V said on Thursday.

The contract starts immediately on a call out basis and will cover Chevron's requirement for accurate offshore positioning of their barges, anchor vessels and drilling rigs. In addition to these services, hydrographic and geophysical surveys will be provided as required prior to drilling or pipe lay operations.

In support of this contract and other regional developments, Fugro has set-up an administration office and technical workshop facility in Balikpapan.

?As exploration and field development activity in the region is expected to increase over the next few years, Fugro will be well placed to service the needs of clients requiring high end solutions to the unique and challenging environmental conditions that prevail in the Mahakam Delta area and the deep water Makassar Strait,? the company said.
