Energy firm awarded two year contract by TotalEnergies

FOLLOWING a competitive bidding process, where ADC showcased its unique value by leveraging advanced technology for operational assurance and its 38 years of industry expertise, ADC secured a two-year contract with a one-year extension option.

This major partnership will have ADC Energy playing a crucial role in the selection and approval of up to three offshore drilling platforms for TotalEnergies’ ambitious GranMorgu project in Suriname. ADC will manage the contract with support from its Aberdeen headquarters and its US division, ADC Rig Inspection Americas Corp. in Houston.

ADC’s proposal included a promise to continue the work from its previous contract from 2020 to 2022, during which ADC Energy helped TotalEnergies choose, reactivate, and approve the Noble Developer, Noble Valiant, Noble Gerry de Souza, and the Transocean Development Driller III MODUs. The 2020 agreement also covered onshore oversight of Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and the installation and commissioning of the Kinetic Pressure Control “K-BOS” system.

This collaboration is set to improve operational efficiency while upholding strict safety standards. ADC Energy’s experienced experts will carry out detailed assessments and inspections of the drilling platforms to ensure they meet industry standards and are customised for the GranMorgu project, which aims to boost TotalEnergies’ exploration and production activities in Suriname and is expected to make a significant impact on the region’s energy sector.

ADC’s Managing Director Austin Hay commented on the contract award: “We’ve supported TotalEnergies globally for over a decade; The trust that companies such as TotalEnergies places in our business to help them ensure all rigs are safer, cleaner and more efficient is not something that I, nor the rest of the team take lightly and we are looking forward to continuing to support TotalEnergies once again in Suriname.”

“TotalEnergies is a key client for ADC and we’ve seen great value in assigning dedicated internal account managers from both Technical and Commercial who have been able to really understand TotalEnergies’ business and approach to offshore operations from project to project.”
