SPE Oilman of the Year tildeles Island Offshore

Den tradisjonsrike prisen Oilman of the Year som hvert år deles ut av SPE(Society of Petroleum Engineers) ble i dag tildelt Island Offshore.

Årets «Oilman of the year» ble i år delt ut til et selskap som gjennom sitt arbeid har innehatt en fundamental rolle i det å øke lønnsomheten på NCS.

Mer en halvparten av produksjonen kommer fra Subsea brønner og før lansering av lett brønnintervensjon (RLWI) var disse kun tilgjengelige fra mobile enheter. Island Offshore har senket terskelen for vedlikehold av brønner i drift og med det økt levetid og senket kostnader. På vegne av selskapet mottok Håvard Ulstein utmerkelsen.

Om selskapet.

Island Offshore was established in 2004 as a vessel operator. The company was founded by Mr. Morten Ulstein and Mr. Håvard Ulstein. Island offshore have from the outset tried to differentiate themselves from the rest of the offshore vessel operators and have diversified into several vessel segments. The owners have always had a fascination with more sophisticated work than regular offshore vessels and light well intervention was a step in this direction. Through the Light Well Intervention contracts With Statoil and other oil companies, Island Offshore has become an innovator in making mono hull vessels acceptable to perform complex activities previously done by rigs. They have, together with their partners FMC, Altus and Oceaneering become one of the leading suppliers of Light Well Intervention services in the world.

Through the engineering group at Forus, Island Offshore has brought new cost effective methods to the industry. Island Offshore employs approx. 1200 people in Europe and has an annual turnover of approx. 2,5 billion NOK.
