HitecVision has announced Circle Group’s acquisition of WellPartner AS, an equipment and services company servicing the Norwegian subsea, completion and intervention markets.

This is Circle Group’s first acquisition and the foundation for the Well Service division.

WellPartner was established in Stavanger in June 2008 as a consulting company, and has since then developed into a technology focused subsea well access and intervention specialist. The company consists of three main businesses: WellPartner Products, WellPartner Services and WellPartner Consulting.

WellPartner Products has through extensive knowledge of marine riser operations, well access and downhole operations, launched several niche products with growth potential in the market.

WellPartner Consulting offers qualified resources within subsea well service, completion and intervention operations.

WellPartner Services offers services to increase efficiency and HSE performance during subsea well service, completion and intervention operations.

The transaction is scheduled to be closed in December 2014.
