AGR’s Aberdeen-based consultancy division has doubled its manpower in the Falklands to supply a team to its well management division to work on the Leiv Eiriksson. Following a six-month recruitment drive, the company expected to deploy a 50-strong team of consultants – both on and offshore the Falklands and in support roles in Aberdeen – from January. Desire Petroleum and Rockhopper Exploration contracted AGR’s well management division to undertake a six-well drilling campaign in the area in 2009.
