Shell awards contracts to Add Energy

Shell has awarded two contracts to Add Energy Asset and Integrity Management for projects in South Gabon and Canada.

Under the first contract, Add Energy will manage Shell Gabon’s assets in the Gamba field in South Gabon. The company will provide maintenance, integrity and execution services for assets in the field, which was discovered 50 years ago.

The second contract with Shell Canada requires Add Energy to develop Bills of Materials (BoMs) for the Albian Sands project. The project includes the mining of oil from Canada’s oil sands where oil will be separated from clay, sand and water before being converted into synthetic crude.

Add Energy executive vice president Peter Adam said: "The new projects for Shell Gamba are critical to position assets to run as safely as possible and in alignment with the Shell global performance standards.

"The Bills of Materials will make available a full set of critical spares for maintenance purposes at all times. The importance of having the correct spares in inventory is critical for Albian given the remoteness and constraints of windows of opportunity to carry out maintenance items due to complications caused by extremely low temperatures."

Norway-based Add Energy’s primary customers are oil and gas firms, government agencies and trade organisations associated with the energy industry.
