TEXO Secures Contract with Apache’s North Sea business

TEXO has been awarded a contract with the Apache’s North Sea business, marking the start of a partnership focused on  supporting Apache’s late-life asset operations.

Following a competitive tender process, TEXO was selected as one of a small group of integrated delivery partners supporting Apache’s North Sea portfolio.

Supporting Apache’s Late-Life Strategy

Under the agreement, TEXO will deliver an integrated range of services to help Apache maximise asset value while upholding strong safety and operational integrity standards.

The contract aligns with Apache’s long-term late-life asset management plans.

Patrick Gallagher, Operations Director at TEXO, commented:

“This is an important milestone for TEXO and, more importantly, the beginning of the strong, long-term partnership we intend to build with Apache.

“By combining our engineering, fabrication, recruitment, HVAC, construction, (loss control through Flare) and operational capabilities, we will provide the integrated support Apache needs to execute its late life strategy.

“For us, success is measured by the success of Apache’s operations.”

Delivering Safe, Reliable Operations

Apache’s approach reflects a wider North Sea trend toward leaner, more integrated delivery models that prioritise safety, efficiency and value as assets mature.

TEXO’s Asset Lifecycle Management model supports this transition by enabling coordinated, multi-discipline delivery while reducing complexity and interfaces.

Operational Impact

The contract is expected to support activity across TEXO’s UK operations, including:

• Initial mobilisation of offshore personnel
• Expansion of onshore support teams
• Increased utilisation of TEXO’s Dundee fabrication facility
• Coordinated delivery from Westhill, Inverurie and Dundee

Leadership Perspective

Chris Smith, Managing Director of TEXO, added:

“We are proud Apache selected TEXO to support this important phase of its asset lifecycle. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to safety, collaboration and long-term value.

Our priority is to help Apache deliver safe, reliable operations as these assets move through late life, while building a partnership that continues to create value well into the future.”

Stuart Taylor, Director of Operations, Apache North Sea, added:

“This contract is another milestone as our North Sea assets progress through late-life operations towarddecommissioning. Throughout the tender process, TEXO demonstrated the technical capability and collaborative approach to late-life asset management needed as we focus on delivering  safe, responsible and efficient operations across these iconic assets.”
