STATS Group has landed a 10 year emergency pipeline contract in the Middle East worth £6.5million.
The win is the second in quick session for the Aberdeenshire firm which won work with the world’s largest LNG producer Qatargas.
The deal, which includes the design, manufacturing and testing of pipeline isolation and intervention equipment, is one of 40 Middle Eastern projects for the firm.
STATS’ Middle East regional director, Angus Bowie, said: “Our focus on establishing our credentials in the Middle East EPRS sector has paid off and our original contract with Qatargas has now been followed with this significant award by another major operator in the Middle East. STATS ability to tailor the mature isolation technology to meet client expectations has allowed the EPRS systems to accommodate complex operations while maintaining the core well proven fail-safe features.
“Our technologies are all designed, manufactured and tested in-house and have become the industry standard for some of the leading operators in the Middle East who require peace of mind when being able to respond to pipeline integrity and repair issues.”
The deal also includes the supply of double block and bleed isolation tools including Remote Tecno Plugs™.
The equipment will be stored in Qatar to support the client’s operations in the country’s North Field and its onshore LNG plant in Ras Laffan.
