Estimated at about £900,000, the order will have a duration of 100 days.

Plexus will supply its 18-3/4" adjustable surface wellhead, which provides a metal to metal annular seal, and mudline systems for use on the well.

Plexus CEO Ben Van Bilderbeek said, "Today’s latest order from Centrica brings the total number of orders we have announced with leading blue chip operators, including GDF Suez, Maersk and Wintershall, so far in 2014 to five."

Earlier Centrica ordered equipment from Plexus for use on its first well drilled offshore Norway.
