Plexus Holdings PLC ('Plexus' or 'the Company')
Wins £700,000 HP/HT contract with GDF Britain Ltd
Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business,
has agreed with GDF Britain Ltd ('GDFB'), subject to completion of relevant
contract terms, to supply the Company's proprietary POS-GRIP(R) wellhead system
for use in the North Sea. This agreement marks a continuing relationship
between the two companies, which Plexus hopes to build further upon in the
future. The immediate value of the contract is circa £700,000, with revenues
commencing in July 2008, the first quarter of the Company's next financial year
2008/2009.
Plexus will supply GDFB with its POS-GRIP High Pressure/High Temperature
('HP/HT') exploration rental wellhead equipment and service support. GDFB will
utilise the POS-GRIP technology for its 'Tesla' exploration well, being drilled
in the Central Graben region of the North Sea using a 15,000 psi, HP/HT 18.75
inch single stack surface wellhead system. The Directors are hopeful that
further equipment will be supplied to GDFB for additional exploration wells in
the future.
Plexus CEO Ben van Bilderbeek said: 'Plexus is delighted to extend its working
relationship with GDFB to include for the first time HP/HT equipment in addition
to our standard/minimal wellhead technology. It is Plexus' key objective to
continue to develop its POS-GRIP technology to make it the industry wellhead
standard, recognised for its technical performance and safety benefits within
the oil and gas arena. It is fundamental, in order for Plexus to achieve this,
that strong relationships are formed and maintained with the leading oil and gas
majors. This important contract for Plexus demonstrates the Company is
continuing to succeed in gaining increased industry recognition. We fully expect
to build upon our successes and secure further contract wins with international
majors, and in turn enhance shareholder value.'
