Over the past week, a number of contractors have been awarded work in Australia by two major companies.
The following contracts have been awarded, including the following:
Valmec: contract with Origin Energy
Valmec has secured a goods and services agreement with Origin Energy for the provision of services at its Spring Gully gas facilities in Southwest Queensland.
The agreement, with an estimated value of $100 million, is for an initial term of five years and has the option to be extended by Origin by two one-year extension options.
The new agreement supports Valmec’s long-term commitment to the Maroona and Western Downs regions to support local employment and community spend through works being delivered from its operations facility in Roma, Queensland.
Managing director Steve Dropulich said Valmec has a long and proud working relationship with Origin which it is pleased to continue.
“Since starting work with Origin in 2016 we have provided specialist technicians, equipment and parts through preventative and corrective maintenance services as well as delivered brownfield construction services to the APLNG project’s upstream gas compression and power generation assets,” Dropulich said.

Go Offshore: contract with Santos
Go Offshore has won a contract with Santos to support the Van Gogh drilling campaign offshore Western Australia from the second quarter of 2021.
As part of the contract, the AHTS Go Spica vessel will perform anchor handling and supply operating supporting the Valaris MS-1 semi submersible drilling rig.
The company reported that the contract award is a testament to the hard working team that have overcome the challenges and constraints of 2020 to undertake an extensive docking and reactivation effort and deliver Santos with a safe, operationally efficient and reliable vessel.
The company announced in March that a final investment decision would be made on the Van Gogh infill development phase two project, maximising field production, access additional reserves and lower unit production costs.
Van Gogh will involve the drilling and completing of three new horizontal, dual-lateral production wells and subsea tieback into existing infrastructure.
