Scottish subsea firm Red Spider has picked up its first projects in Asia Pacific with work in Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam.
The contracts follows the appointment of regional manager Bruce McLeod in Kuala Lumpur.
In Vietnam it won work with Thang Long Joint Operating Company (Thang Long JOC), which saw it supply two of its eRED tools – a downhole computer-controlled valve that can be opened and closed multiple times by remote control without the need for any intervention – and workforce to supervise the project.
In Malaysia, Westhill-based Red Spider picked up its first project for Petronas Carigali, which involved using its eRED technology to remove wireline runs from completion operations and reduce wireline interventions.
Mr McLeod said: “We are delighted with the progress and market breakthrough we are achieving within south-east Asia, and very pleased to have completed successful initial runs with Petronas Carigali, which we hope will be the first of many using the eRED technology.
“In addition to these operations, it is testament to the quality and unique features of our products that Red Spider has secured the contract with new client Thang Long JOC.
“We have strong ambitions to increase our presence significantly in Asia Pacific over the next year in order to provide the highest level of on-hand client support.”
