Under the new agreement, PSW Group will be responsible for the provision of a capping stack and related well control equipment, well incident team and emergency response services. The agreement may be applied to any license where Spirit Energy Norway is the operator. “We are very pleased to be awarded this contract as we have have strategically developed our capping stack services in response to industry demands, enabling us to provide a safe and efficient response to a well control incident”, says Oddbjørn Haukøy, CEO of PSW Group.
