Shell International Exploration and Production awarded CHC Helicopter a five-year, multi-million dollar contract to support its deep-water exploration activities offshore West Africa. The agreement comes with five one-year options and dedicates two Eurocopter Super Puma L2 aircraft for helicopter transportation services and emergency medical evacuation in support of Shell’s Noble Globetrotter II deepwater drillship’s operations in West Africa.
Delivery of those services will begin in July 2013.
CHC has provided services in 19 different African countries for a diverse mix of customers, including oil and gas operators and the United Nations. The company operates both AgustaWestland 139 and Sikorsky 76 aircraft for ongoing rig support across multiple drilling programs.
Chris Krajewski, CHC’s regional director for Africa and Euro-Asia, said his company has unmatched knowledge and operational experience in supporting such complex multi-country projects.
“We support customers in challenging oil and gas territories around the world, including in recent projects for EHL, Petrobras, and BG throughout East and West Africa,” said Krajewski. “This contract reflects CHC’s ability and our commitment to customers, as we help them safely go further and do more in Africa and around the world.”
He said that CHC has particular expertise in understanding and working within different national flight requirements, as well as quickly and efficiently starting up operations in support of new contracts.
