“As a leading service partner to energy companies in the North Sea, Bilfinger focuses on cost efficiency, quality and an outstanding track record in occupational safety. Under difficult circumstances, we have managed to continue our longstanding cooperation with renowned oil and gas companies”, says Tom Blades, Chief Executive Officer at Bilfinger SE.
Key framework agreements have been extended with oil and gas group Statoil, the largest operator of production facilities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. These agreements have a volume of roughly €110 million over the term of two years.
