ASCO has been awarded a contract to provide supply base services, including planning and coordination, freight and logistics support, port and marine services and environmental services in support of an upcoming drilling campaign operated by DNO ASA at the Marulk field.
The contract has been awarded through ASCO's framework agreement with Well Expertise and will support drilling operations carried out by the Deepsea Yantai rig. Operations are scheduled to begin late summer 2026 and are expected to run for approximately three months, with services delivered from ASCO’s base in Sandnessjøen.
Jan Ove Styve, Base Manager at ASCO in Sandnessjøen, said:
“This contract supports continued activity at the Sandnessjøen base and underlines the capability we have built locally to support offshore operations safely and efficiently. It is a reflection of the commitment and quality our team delivers every day.”
The contract builds on the long-standing relationship between ASCO and Well Expertise, following several successful drilling operations for DNO in recent years. It also reflects ASCO’s continued focus on delivering safe, innovative, and value-driven logistics, materials and operations management solutions.
Øyvind Salte, Commercial Director at ASCO, commented: “Our collaboration with Well Expertise spans several years, during which we have successfully delivered a number of drilling operations for DNO with strong operational performance and high client satisfaction. We are proud to have earned the continued trust of both Well Expertise and DNO.”
