Local communities set to benefit from $102 million contract award
Thursday, 06 October 2011 13:57
Following the announcement that Easternwell secured several well servicing contracts with Santos with a combined value of $102 million, local communities are set to benefit through local employment and local procurement of goods and services.
Easternwell operates over 70 rigs throughout Australia, 20 of which operate in the Surat and Cooper Basins. The contracts will directly employ approximately 100 people including 80 field and 20 town based positions. Positions include rig crew, camp management, catering and construction, training and administration employees.
Easternwell employs over 1000 people Australia wide. A majority of employees reside in Queensland with approximately 65% coming from regional areas of the state. 99% of Easternwell’s employees reside in Australia.
The vast majority of the supply chain required to perform this work for Santos will come from Queensland based companies. It is expected that the award of the Santos contract to Easternwell will contribute more than $70 million to the Queensland economy over the next three (3) years. The regional economy is expected to be a particular beneficiary as five (5) of the top ten (10) suppliers to Easternwell (food, fuel, transportation, equipment and ancillary services) are based in the greater Toowoomba region.
Easternwell CEO Troy Campbell said ‘We first started working with Santos in 1989 when we had less than 20 employees - now we have over 1000 employees. We have a long and successful relationship with Santos. These contracts create job security for our employees and paves the way for Easternwell to continue to grow with Santos. It also supports Easternwell’s commitment to local communities through buying and employing locally wherever possible.’
President Santos GLNG Project Mark Macfarlane said ‘Santos is proud to have supported this local Queensland business and helped it grow to become an Australian-leading energy and mining service provider.
‘It is important to ensure that with the growth of the new LNG industry in Queensland we help to build local business capability to be able to support the construction and ongoing operation and maintenance of our 25 year project.
‘Easternwell is an excellent example of a company that has adapted and built capability to be in a prime position to work in partnership with the CSG to LNG projects.’
