CAN Group announces Talisman Sinopec deal

Aberdeen-based CAN Group says it has today further cemented its position as one of the leading inspection service providers in the North Sea with a £90 million five-year contract with Talisman Sinopec Energy UK.

The deal, announced at the Offshore Europe Conference, in Aberdeen, is to provide independent inspection services to the operator’s 11 offshore installations, and at the Flotta Oil Terminal.

Up to 120 offshore inspection personnel will carry out the specialist work, backed by an onshore team of engineers, planners and support staff.
