Fugro Lands Ichthys IMR Work

Fugro has been awarded a contract from Japan’s oil and gas exploration and production company, Inpex, for subsea services to be executed across the Ichthys facilities in the Timor Sea, some 220 kilometres offshore Western Australia.

Fugro will provide all services through its office in Perth. The work will be performed under Fugro’s QHSE system.

This IRM contract fits well within our asset integrity business line, which centers around inspection and monitoring services, supporting optimal utilisation and longevity of our clients’ infrastructure.”
