Oil and gas industry announcements: 26 January 2015

Hydrocarbon Engineering,


CB&I

CB&I has announced that it has been awarded a contract renewal valued at approximately US%65 million by a leading crude oil refiner for long term maintenance, small capital construction projects and other industrial servies at its facility near the Gulf Coast of Texas. Patrick K. Mullen, President of CB&I’s Engineering, Construction and Maintenance operating group said, “CB&I is focused on building sustainable value for our customers through improved reliability and performance. This contract renewal underscores the confidence our customers place in CB&I’s ability to provide real time operational improvements in an environment where safety is paramount.”

Ennsub

Subsea products and equipment manufacturer Ennsub has successfully completed the design, manufacture, testing and installation of bespoke sealing systems for the Wheatstone LNG platform off the cost of Australia. The company was approached by a tier one marine contractor to design two different systems to provide an external and internal sealing system for 64 off 8 in NS ballasting pipes located at each corner of the platform. Ennsub was responsible for the design and supply of all equipment, including downline recovery winches, remote disconnect heads and isolation plugs. Following an intensive factory acceptance test programme, which simulated the offshore conditions, four Ennsub engineers were mobilised to Australia to perform the installation of the 128 off bespoke sealing systems.

The solution from Ennsub replaced the alternative grouting solution which was being considered by the end user and the success of the operation exceeded all parties’ planned timescales with Ennsub’s engineers successfully completing the installation in half the allocated time.

Energy Intelligence jointly convenes the conference with the International New York Times.
