Weir Engineering Services, part of the multinational Weir Group, has been awarded a contract worth £10m, to provide maintenance services on all Shell U.K. Exploration and Production (Shell Expro) installations in the North Sea.
The three-year deal will see Weir Engineering Services maintain and repair pumps and associated equipment across Shell Expro's network of North Sea platforms.
