BMT Argoss, a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd., has secured a long-term contract to provide an oil major with weather forecasting services for all of its North Caspian Sea operations, both offshore and onshore, BMT said in a press release. The scope of BMT’s work includes the provision of all forecasting services including Metocean and aviation as well as all operational support, including maintenance of meteorological equipment on all of the installations.

BMT’s working relationship with this oil major extends back to 2009, providing elements of the forecasting services package. However, the new contract sees BMT as the sole provider of weather forecasting services, the company said.

BMT’s team of 13 will provide 24/7 service in extremely harsh weather conditions with temperatures as low as -30°C (-22°F), the company said. When necessary, BMT’s forecasters and Metocean service specialists will travel to offshore installations to provide bespoke ice and aviation forecasts to support operational requirements.
