Claxton Awarded New Centralizer Contract for Statoil’s Gina Krog Development
Tuesday 10 March 2015
Claxton, an Acteon company, has been awarded a contract with Statoil to supply conductor and internal centralizers to a minimum of 14 wells on the Gina Krog development, offshore Norway. The contract was finalised in December 2014, and first delivery is scheduled for March 2015. Claxton is responsible for the design, fabrication, testing and installation of the units.
Vegard Dale, Business Development manager, Claxton, said, "Winning this order reinforces our position as the premier supplier of centralizers in the North Sea and underlines our capacity to understand new challenges and devise solutions."
Conductor centralizers form the interface between the platform jacket and well conductor, assuring vital integrity over the working life of the conductor. Having supplied a range of conductor and structural centralizers to major operators since 1992, Claxton has become the leading North Sea supplier – supplying and installing over 5,000 conductor guide centralizers.
