Offshore firm Fraser Well Management has launched into the Scottish market by expanding into Aberdeen.

The Great Yarmouth-based firm, based at Beacon Innovation Centre and a Future50 business, manages oil and gas wells for onshore and offshore exploration and employs 13 people.

Well engineering manager Donald MacArthur said: 'The opening of our Aberdeen office represents a new chapter in the ongoing growth of Fraser Well Management.

'This office will correctly position our business to capitalise on opportunities in and around the area, as well as providing a springboard for continued growth with the direct access to clients and a talented skills pool.'

John Balch, strategic director at Nwes said: 'Fraser Well Management has been at the heart of East Anglia's oil and gas industry, and working from Nwes' Beacon Innovation Centre, since 2004.

'As they undertake this significant expansion, they continue to cement their reputation as one of the sector's leading companies – something we are proud to have been able to support.'
