Energy sector consultancy Xodus Group has doubled its workforce in Australia, after a successful year in which an acquisition opened new opportunities in renewables.
The Aberdeen-headquartered firm has moved to new offices in Perth, where it took over Green Light Environmental (GLE) in July last year.
Xodus recently secured a major cross-services contract with Beach Energy for its Trefoil gas condensate field in the Bass Basin off Australia.
Simon Allison, Xodus’ operations director for the APAC region, said: “As shown by the recent Trefoil win, we’re really starting to reap the benefits of having a larger, integrated team with a much wider variety of capabilities. That contract, combined with our digital transformation work, has enhanced our reputation as a leading provider of integrated front-end services in the region.”
Petrina Raitt, who was GLE’s managing director, now leads Xodus's integrated environmental operations. GLE’s cloud-based digital EIA system, eBase is to be used across the group.
Allison said: “eBase has become a leading digital EIA solution for international oil and gas companies and Xodus is already seeing how such a solution can be applied to other basins outside of Australia as well as other energy sectors such as offshore wind.
“Since the acquisition, our combined environmental team has gone from strength-to strength. Alongside our field development unit, we are establishing new relationships and delivering quality services to several major operators.
“The success over the last two years is allowing us to explore new markets and regions. The energy transition is front and centre for Xodus and we are already working closely with industry bodies on how we can support the future energy landscape with projects in hydrogen and renewables. It is an exciting time for the company.”
