Bilfinger Extends Inspection Contract for Danish North Sea Oil and Gas Facilities to June 2028

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 9, German industrial services provider Bilfinger announced that it had secured an extension of its offshore facility inspection services contract with TotalEnergies EP Denmark, continuing to provide inspection and access services for the offshore oil and gas facilities of the Danish Underground Consortium (DUC) in the Danish North Sea, with the contract term extended to June 2028. The scope of services includes facility inspection, non-destructive testing and rope access work at height. The contract was initially launched in 2021, and this extension will continue the two parties' existing cooperation on offshore facility maintenance.

The contract covers DUC's offshore production facilities in the Danish North Sea, with the main work including equipment and structural inspection, non-destructive testing (NDT) and rope access work. NDT is used to inspect for defects inside or on the surface of equipment, pipelines and structural components, while rope access provides working conditions for personnel to reach elevated and confined areas that are difficult to cover with conventional scaffolding. The related services involve offshore facility integrity inspection and operations and maintenance, and do not include new oil and gas platform engineering.

Since the contract was launched in 2021, Bilfinger has accumulated more than 510,000 hours of offshore work without a single lost-time incident (LTI). This performance record covers on-site work during the two parties' previous cooperation and serves as important operational background for this contract extension.

DUC is jointly operated by TotalEnergies EP Denmark, BlueNord and the Danish National Oil and Gas Fund (Nordsøfonden), with interests of 43.2%, 36.8% and 20% respectively, and TotalEnergies serves as the operator. The consortium operates 15 oil and gas fields in the Danish North Sea, distributed across four production centers: Tyra, Dan, Halfdan and Gorm.

According to data disclosed by Bilfinger, DUC accounts for more than 80% of oil production and 90% of gas production in the Danish North Sea. The facilities covered by this service extension are part of the consortium's offshore production assets, and subsequent inspection work will continue to focus on equipment condition, structural integrity, and the operation and maintenance of production facilities.
