Unity will provide surface wellhead and subsea Xmas tree maintenance services offshore for around 100 wells, as well as equipment testing, repair, refurbishment and storage from its base in Great Yarmouth.

The contract has two additional two-year extension options.

Unity, owned by Front Row Energy Technology Group, employs around 120 people across its UK sites, as well as Esbjerg in Denmark.

Chief executive Gary Smart said: “Having previously worked with Spirit Energy to provide well integrity and technology solutions, we have a strong understanding of the company’s operations.

“We are thrilled to add this service agreement to our growing portfolio of offshore contracts, which now includes over half of all major North Sea operators.”

It comes as Unity is developing lightweight additive wellhead components at its base in Aberdeen to complement its maintenance and spare parts service, which it said will significantly reduce operators’ costs.

Mr Smart added that they plan to bring that to market “later this year”.
