Energy and marine consultancy ABL has been awarded a Global Client Relationship Agreement (GCRA), an Australian Frame Agreement and an International Frame Agreement (“Frame Agreements”) with global energy company Woodside Energy (Woodside), to support the operator’s offshore energy construction and operations worldwide, including in Australia and the US.
Under the agreements, ABL will provide marine warranty survey (MWS), marine assurance and general consultancy services, on a call-off basis. Each of the agreements are for a five-year term and on a non-binding and non-exclusive basis, during which ABL can be called on to provide the above-mentioned services to support Woodside with its operational assets, along with the potential for it to be expanded for future project developments.
The agreements capture services that are intended to ensure compliance, reliability, and safety across all of Woodside’s worldwide activities.
“We are pleased to continue our support for Woodside Energy, and now with its global assets beyond Australia. This follows 20 years of successful collaboration in Australia, including our ongoing 4-year involvement as MWS to support the transportation and installation of the Scarborough project. 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,” says Jason Hannath, ABL’s country manager in Australia.
ABL Australasia is headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, with supporting offices in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. It also has operations in New Zealand, supporting maritime and offshore energy assets across New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
