ABERDEEN energy services company Proserv has been awarded a series of contracts worth a combined value of more than $10 million (£7.7 million).
The deal is for its production control new-build and after-market services in the Middle East.
In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Proserv will be engineering and manufacturing wellhead control panels, hydraulic power units (HPUs) and chemical injection systems to national oil companies, service companies and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies, estimated to be worth around £7.7m. Key to the awards is the strong installation, commissioning and life of field service offering that is unique to Proserv in the region.
Earlier in the year, Proserv officially opened its new Saudi Arabia facility and the company has recently secured its first orders for the provision of preventive maintenance and support services for HPUs in the country for its installed base of equipment.
The second win for the team involved the manufacturing and supply of emergency shutdown systems. All orders are expected to be delivered in Q3 and Q4 of this year.
Proserv has invested significantly in its new facility in Saudi Arabia in order to expand its local manufacturing, project execution and service capabilities.
The new 1800-sq-m facility, located in Dammam, in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia, will provide engineering, manufacturing, commissioning, after-market support and training services to onshore and offshore clients.
Andy Anderson, region president for the Middle East and Africa, said: “We have enjoyed a strong start to the year and expect this success to continue based on our growing market presence and unparalleled experience in the region for life of field services.
“At Proserv, we pride ourselves on our engineering talent and expertise which is supported by a long-standing track record of more than 40 years.
“These recent contract awards reflect our clients’ confidence in our ability to provide the highest standards of service and support in order to enhance the productivity and efficiency of their operations.”
Proserv is a technology-driven company providing products, services and bespoke solutions to clients across the drilling, production and decommissioning market sectors. In the Middle East region, Proserv has operations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Saudi Arabia and employs around 275 people.
Globally, Proserv operates worldwide through 22 operating centres based in 12 countries and the company has won a string of industry awards over the years in recognition of its business success and technology achievements.
The Middle East awards build upon recently announced agreements in Norway when it won three contracts worth a combined value of approximately 21.5m Norwegian Krone (just under £2m) for decommissioning work in the Norwegian North Sea.
The firm’s Stavanger facility will provide cutting services as part of a full severance package covering subsea and topside work.
Proserv also recently won around $8 million (£6.2m) worth of decommissioning work in Asia Pacific, the UK and Gulf of Mexico. Proserv will provide abrasive cutting, diamond wire cutting, grout removal and dredging services.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
