Oil service company Petrotechnics said yesterday it had won a contract worth more than £1million from Brunei Shell Petroleum.
The deal involves the first major upstream deployment of Petrotechnics’ electronic integrated safe-system-of-work solution Sentinel PRO in the Far East.
The project for Brunei Shell Petroleum will see Sentinel PRO become operational in its onshore and offshore facilities in the South China Sea by the end of the third quarter of this year, with 800 people being trained to use the software for daily operational and engineering activities.
Aberdeen-based Petrotechnics describes itself as a global leader in transforming the efficiency and effectiveness of frontline operations in the oil and gas industry.
Sentinel PRO is a web-based system already used extensively in the North Sea.
Iain Mackay, operations director at Petrotechnics, said: “Sentinel PRO incorporates our global experience of business process and effective work-activity management, resulting in tangible safety and efficiency improvements.
“For Brunei Shell Petroleum, this will deliver improved transparency of work across all its assets, enhanced communication throughout the organisation and greater efficiencies for work planning as permits and work documentation can be planned in advance, thereby increasing safety and reducing costs across all sites.”
Petrotechnics employs 181 staff across a network of global offices and has corporate agreements in place with six of the top 10 oil and gas majors. The company says it has an 85% market share in UK waters, with 40% of the deepwater Gulf of Mexico market.
