OEG, a leading energy solutions business, has secured a significant multi-year helifuel services contract with a major UK operator.
Under the terms of the agreement, OEG will manage the company’s offshore helifuel systems in the North Sea and provide helifuel tanks on a serviced rental basis. Additionally, OEG will offer helideck crew refuelling training at the company’s new helifuel training academy located at its Portlethen facility in Aberdeenshire.
This state-of-the-art facility allows OEG to offer comprehensive, hands-on training that upholds safety and efficiency in helifuel operations. OEG’s OPITO accredited Helicopter Refuelling Training course is recognised for its effective approach, where candidates work with Jet A1 fuel as opposed to water for an authentic hands-on experience.
Clive Hoskisson, Managing Director for OEG’s logistics equipment division in the UK, said: “This contract award highlights the value that we deliver for our customers as well as our ongoing commitment to safety and reliability in our equipment and service delivery. Achieving OPITO accreditation greatly enhances our training programme, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements for offshore helideck crew training as outlined in the latest UK Civil Aviation Authority’s CAP 437 standard.
“The helifuel training component offers thorough and practical training for helideck crews, equipping them with the skills to manage refuelling operations safely and efficiently. The aim is to enhance offshore helideck safety and provide an effective service by adhering to the highest industry standards in the North Sea and other regions.”
