Axess Group has secured a long-term Asset Integrity Management (AIM) contract with Noble Corporation, a global leader in offshore drilling services for the oil and gas sector.
Under the terms of the agreement, Axess will provide a comprehensive range of inspection and certification services for Noble’s four drillships operating offshore in Guyana. These services are critical to ensuring ongoing safety, regulatory compliance, and operational performance.
As part of the scope, Axess will deploy its proprietary digital inspection platform, Bridge, developed by Axess Digital. The platform enables efficient data collection, streamlined reporting, and advanced analytics, offering Noble enhanced visibility into asset condition and performance.
The contract is anchored in Axess’ Total Rig Integrity Management (TRIM) framework, an integrated solution designed to optimise value and uptime by consolidating activities and deploying multi-disciplined teams. This approach reduces the frequency of mobilisations and minimises personnel on board, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint and greater cost transparency.
Fergus Murray, VP – Americas at Axess Group, said, “This contract marks a significant milestone for Axess in Guyana, perfectly aligning with our long-term commitment to localisation. We are excited to deepen our partnership with Noble and strengthen our presence across the CARICOM region. Together with our joint venture partner GLASS, we now have a strong foundation to further invest in training and developing a skilled local workforce, reinforcing the local content commitments we stand by.”
“As part of our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement in our Guyana operations, Noble is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Axess to enhance rig inspection services. We believe Axess can bring significant value through their pillars of People, Process, and Technology. By leveraging their global expertise, we aim to adopt best-in-class practices, implement sustainable solutions, and integrate cutting-edge digital products into our operations,” the Noble Guyana Operations Team stated.
