Oil and Gas engineering firm PD&MS Energy has been awarded a major engineering contract for platform drilling rigs by BP.
The exclusive three-year deal which is understood to run to tens of millions of pounds, and carries an optional two-year extension will see the Aberdeen-based business deliver engineering, procurement and offshore construction services for upgrades to all the oil giant’s North Sea assets.
The company said it had taken on additional office space to allow the business to grow by up to 45 staff.
PD&MS, a Wilton Group company, operates a quayside rig repair facility in Dundee as well as sites in Aberdeen, Great Yarmouth and Brazil, and said the move was a milestone.
