Dana Petroleum has taken a significant step in the North Sea energy sector by renewing its multi-year integrity services contract with Imrandd. This strategic partnership, which has been in place since 2016, will now extend for an additional two years, keeping 14 engineers engaged in crucial maintenance work on floating production vessels.
The renewed contract encompasses a range of critical services, including integrity management, risk-based inspection (RBI) services, and advanced data analytics. These services will support the operations of the Triton FPSO, Dana Petroleum's floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, which produces oil and gas from multiple fields in the North Sea, such as Evelyn, Bittern, Guillemot West and Guillemot Northwest, Gannet E, Clapham, Pict and Saxon fields.
According to Innes Auchterlonie, CEO of Imrandd: "This renewal is a testament to the confidence Dana places in Imrandd's ability to deliver innovative, results-driven integrity solutions. Our commitment remains focused on delivering an unbiased and differentiated service, which sets us apart in the industry".
Imrandd's technology, including its proprietary software ALERT, which monitors for corrosion threats and allows organizations to act before damage occurs, will play a pivotal role in enhancing data analytics and driving performance improvements on the Triton FPSO. The extension not only secures work for 14 engineers but also underscores the importance of maintaining FPSO vessels to ensure the safety of operators, avoid environmental damage, and contribute to the continuity of economic activity in the sector.
The partnership between Dana Petroleum and Imrandd underscores the critical role that FPSOs play in the oil and gas industry, enabling the exploitation of fields that would otherwise be difficult to access. The maintenance and repair of these vessels are essential to ensure their operational efficiency and reduce risks associated with their operation. This renewed contract reinforces the long-standing relationship between Dana Petroleum and Imrandd, highlighting the trust in Imrandd's expertise to deliver cutting-edge integrity management solutions.

This partnership brings together Dana's commitment to operational excellence with Imrandd's innovative approach to asset management. Through Imrandd's advanced software solutions, Dana's UK operations will benefit from enhanced predictive maintenance planning and advanced data analytics, helping to maximize efficiency while reducing costs. The continuation builds upon their successful partnership since 2016.
According to Innes Auchterlonie, CEO of Imrandd, "We are incredibly proud to extend our valued partnership with Dana Petroleum. This renewal is a testament to the confidence Dana places in Imrandd's ability to deliver innovative, results-driven integrity solutions."
