Sabah Shell Petroleum Company has awarded Velesto Workover two multi-year contracts to support deepwater activity offshore Sabah, with the work focused on maintaining top tension risers linked to a tension leg platform.

Velesto Workover, part of Velesto Energy, will deliver maintenance services for top tension risers (TTRs) at Sabah Shell’s tension leg platform (TLP). The scope will be executed with INVX Asia Pacific, described as Velesto’s principal for the work.

Velesto said the awards reflect its capability to back offshore operations with an emphasis on safe and efficient execution, and described the projects as part of its efforts to grow its integrated maintenance and engineering offering in the upstream energy sector in collaboration with INVX Asia Pacific.

Velesto President Megat Zariman Abdul Rahim thanked Sabah Shell for its continued trust in the company and said the agreements support the group’s longer-term resilience through diversification into a broader service range.

The contracts follow Velesto’s earlier long-term drilling award for one of its rigs from Petronas Carigali, a subsidiary of Petronas.
