Fulkrum, a global leader in inspection, expediting, auditing, and technical staffing services, has been awarded a major inspection services contract by Vår Energi, Norway's largest independent oil and gas operator on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

This significant contract covers inspection services across Vår Energi’s project portfolio, supporting quality assurance, operational integrity, and efficient project execution. As part of this framework agreement, Fulkrum is currently supporting three subsea developments within the Gjøa area: Ophelia, Gjøa Nord, and Cerisa, providing inspection and testing of equipment and systems both offshore and on-site at the testing facilities.

The contract award further strengthens Fulkrum’s growing presence in the Norwegian energy market and reinforces its reputation for delivering high-quality inspection services during the procurement and operations of complex offshore and subsea developments worldwide.

Vår Energi is one of the largest exporters of gas to Europe from Norway and has equity stakes in half of the producing assets on the NCS—with around 1,450 employees, its focus on quality and compliance is core to its operations.

Fulkrum’s technical expertise will support Vår Energi’s commitment to becoming the safest operator through its ongoing investment and initiatives, including hazard identification and risk assessment, legal and regulatory compliance, and continual improvement. Securing this significant milestone award reinforces Fulkrum’s continued expansion across the region.

James Dunsford, Senior Key Account Manager at Fulkrum, said: “This award represents an important step in further establishing Fulkrum’s position within the Norwegian offshore market. Our subsea inspection teams bring extensive technical expertise, operational flexibility, and a strong commitment to quality and safety, enabling us to support critical offshore developments with confidence. The work already underway on the Ophelia, Gjøa Nord and Cerisa developments demonstrates Fulkrum’s ability to mobilise experienced inspection personnel globally while maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and responsiveness for our clients.”

With an expanding international footprint and continued investment in technical capability, Fulkrum continues to support major energy operators and contractors across offshore, subsea, and industrial projects worldwide.
