CHC Helicopter has agreed a new contract with Petrogas to support the Baker and Abbey gas wells on the UK Continental Shelf. For over 35 years, CHC has supported Petrogas’ operations in the Dutch Continental Shelf area of the North Sea. This latest contract marks an expansion of its existing relationship.

The contract covers crew change and transportation services from CHC’s base in Norwich, with the operator also providing support services including passenger logistics and freight handling. CHC will dedicate an AW139 to support the contract, which commences on 1August, 2024.

Dave Grant, EMEA west commercial director at CHC, says: “Petrogas has placed its trust in us to not only deliver safe and reliable missions, but to lend our operational expertise and guidance on support services. It’s a real testament to the reputation of our team in the market. Strategic relationships with established customers like Petrogas continue to produce strong demand for our services. We focus on optimising the use of our fleet to maximise its availability and meet the growing number of opportunities for us in the market.”

CHC is a trusted partner to the offshore energy market around the globe. In the North Sea, it continues to build long-standing strategic alliances with its customers.

Dave Grant adds: “The opportunities for growth in the North Sea are clear. We’re working closely with our customers to support their future success, and the energy industry as a whole. The future looks bright for us both.”
