The contract covers the provision of personnel for operations managed by ConocoPhillips Australia, initially focusing on the Bayu-Undan Recycle facilities, Darwin Liquefied Natural Gas Plant, Bayu-Darwin Pipeline and Perth operations.

This appointment follows on from the recent award by ExxonMobil Global Services of a Multi-Country/Upstream Projects Agreement to Brunel Energy Houston, which will allow ExxonMobil operations to access Brunel's contracting services infrastructure in all international oil and gas centres.

Simon Cullum, Australian general manager, said "we see the recent award by ConocoPhillips Australia as very significant step in our strategy of further developing our business around the highest quality customers."

Brunel Energy is a service provider to the oil & gas, petrochemical, construction, infrastructure, mining, process and pipeline industries throughout Australia and worldwide.
