We look forward to delivering these solutions to Equinor and supporting drilling operations in Norway.”

This award follows a stream of success for TWMA in Norway. TWMA has supplied integrated drilling waste management services for several field development projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

Halle Aslaksen, TWMA CEO, said: 
“This contract underlines the impressive growth we have witnessed across our Norwegian operations. We are dedicated to delivering the best environmental practices in drilling operations and I look forward to developing our relationship in the coming years.

By securing this contract, we are continuing to make a positive impact on the environmental footprint associated with Norway’s oil & gas production.
