Shell has selected CHC, an offshore helicopter services provider, for a five-year, multi-million dollar contract to support its deep-water exploration activities off the coast of sub-Saharan Africa
The agreement, which comes with five one-year options, will provide two Eurocopter Super Puma L2 aircraft for transportation services and emergency medical evacuation capabilities to Shell’s Noble Globetrotter II Deepwater drillship’s operations in other countries also. The services begin from July 2013.
Chris Krajewski, CHC’s regional director for Africa and Euro-Asia, said, “We support customers in challenging oil and gas territories around the world, including in recent projects for EHL, Petrobras and British Gas throughout East and West Africa.”
CHC Helicopter also operates AgustaWestland 139 and Sikorsky 76 aircraft for ongoing rig support across multiple drilling programmes.
