Woodside Energy has signed a series of global frame agreements with energy and marine consultancy ABL to support offshore construction and operational activities across multiple regions, including Australia and the United States.
The Global Client Relationship Agreement, along with separate Australian and International Frame Agreements, establishes a five-year, non-exclusive structure under which ABL can be called upon to provide marine warranty survey (MWS), marine assurance and general consultancy services. The remit covers both Woodside’s existing offshore assets and potential new project developments.
ABL said the award reflects more than two decades of collaboration between the companies, including its ongoing role as MWS provider for the transportation and installation phase of Woodside’s Scarborough project offshore Western Australia.
“This follows 20 years of successful collaboration in Australia,” said Jason Hannath, ABL’s country manager. “The GCRA and Frame Agreements are a reflection of how our cooperation has helped to de-risk and drive efficiency across the construction and operations of Woodside’s offshore assets.”
ABL Australasia, headquartered in Perth with additional bases in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and operations in New Zealand, will coordinate regional support alongside ABL’s wider international network.
ABL is part of Oslo-listed ABL Group ASA.
