Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business,
has received a Letter of Award from leading international oil and gas producer,
Wintershall Noordzee B.V ('Wintershall') to supply, subject to completion of
relevant contract terms, the Company's proprietary POS-GRIP(R) wellhead systems,
mudline suspension systems and associated services. Plexus' equipment will be
utilised for exploration activities in the Dutch, English, German, and Danish
sectors of the North Sea. The value of the contract is estimated at £1.5
million, with revenues commencing in the final quarter of the Company's
financial year to 30 June 2008.
Plexus will provide Wintershall with its proprietary POS-GRIP technology
wellhead rental equipment on a two-year contract with a built in option to
increase this to three years. The contract is estimated to be for approximately
12 new exploration wells and will use 10,000 psi POS-GRIP wellhead equipment.
Plexus CEO Ben van Bilderbeek said, 'Plexus has a longstanding relationship with
Wintershall which extends back to 2001 when it became our first non UK customer.
We are delighted that the management of Wintershall continues to appreciate the
performance benefits of POS-GRIP technology and we look forward to working
closely together over the coming years. In addition, this agreement acts as
further testament to the strength of our POS-GRIP technology as the tender was
awarded against strong competition from established international wellhead
companies.'
