As previously announced on 15 May 2020, Upstream PS has been engaged by the Commonwealth since mid-February 2020 to provide operations and maintenance services to the FPSO, in a non-producing state. The current contract is due to expire on 31 December 2020.

Commenting on the award of the Contract, GR Engineering’s Managing Director, Geoff Jones stated that:
“We are pleased to continue working with DISER and the relevant regulatory bodies to safely manage and maintain the FPSO and execute the required pre-disconnect preparation activities to support a safe removal of the FPSO in the future.”
