Tendeka wins Wintershall Norge AS contract

Tendeka, the provider of completions systems and services to the upstream oil and gas industry, has won a four-year contract with Wintershall Norge AS with a further four-year extension option.

The company has been selected to supply sand screens for wells in the Maria, Brage, Skarfjell and Vega field developments in the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The contract includes the supply of Tendeka’s FloMax premium mesh sand screen, which uses a multi-layer design for sand retention and fines tolerance and its FloRight screen with inflow control device (ICD), which enables uniform production or injection along the entire payzone on the well.

Gary Smart, CEO of Tendeka said: “Being awarded the four-year contract by Wintershall Norge AS is tremendous news. Thanks go to our team in Norway and our internal and external supply chain who have excelled in sustainably positioning Tendeka more competitively during such difficult market conditions. We are excited to begin working with Wintershall where we will provide the best service and added value possible.”

Tendeka has a comprehensive portfolio of completion technologies which provide integrated solutions for inflow assurance, optimisation and control. These best in class technologies include liner hangers, a range of ICDs, metal mesh or wire wrap screens for sand or debris control, multiple zonal isolation solutions, intelligent completions, intervention products, retrofit systems and integrated monitoring systems, with over 40,000 installed around the globe.

Moving Abroad Checklist

Initial Considerations

Will your partner be travelling with you?

If so, what will they be giving up in your present home and will they be able to continue with their career in your new home? You will need to check whether a separate visa is required for your partner to work or if your visa gives that right. If they are unable to work you will need to decide on the effect on your finances and what alternatives are available to give a fulfilling life (home business, training, voluntary work).

Are you taking family with you?

Moving with family raises many exciting opportunities, but also can create challenges. The HSBC Expat Explorer survey indicates that expat kids can take six months to settle in to their new country (see article). Getting young or even older children to prepare to move and leave their friends and family behind can be a challenge and should be thought through.

The options for education is another area that needs to be thought through.

Moving your child to a new country with a different education system can be a great opportunity to broaden their experience, but if they are close to key exams the timing can make this inadvisable. If you do take your family with you, it is important to decide between joining the local school system or choosing an international school.

Where will you be living?

Whether you will be living in a house or apartment, furnished or unfurnished, these decisions will affect what you need to take with you. The time you are planning to live overseas will also affect whether you should leave your property at home empty, rent it out or sell it. See the article Sell, Store or Ship.
