PNN 80354
Work Detail Scotland-headquartered welding, technology, and coating services provider CRC Evans has finished its welding services campaign related to subsea pipeline works on two fields off the coast of Nigeria for Lagos-based Westfield Energy Resources and won another deal with the same company in India. While no exact value of the contract with the Nigerian firm was disclosed, CRC Evans did reveal that the job was a multi-million one for the delivery of a range of welding services to support a greenfield development, Project Alpha, entailing the Anyala and Madu fields 45 km off the Niger Delta, with production being tied back to a floating production, storage and offloading facility (FPSO). This project is operated by FIRST Exploration and Petroleum Development Company (FIRST E&P). After Westfield Energy Resources contracted the Scottish player to provide full welding services to its pipelay barge, the DLB Kenenna S-lay vessel, the company completed more than 3,800 welds on two 20.8 km and one 5.5 km pipelines with its regional partner, Ripen Marine Contractors. The work required CRC Evans to utilize its flagship Dual Torch P-625 external welding equipment, said to be specifically designed for large, demanding projects or where high production is required, as it is believed to have the ability to double the production capacity compared with a single torch system. Moreover, the company elaborates that an onboard computer ensures precise control of welding parameters enabling storage of a real-time log of essential weld data for future processing. The full work scope of the contract also encompassed project management and engineering, associated services, and requirements. In addition, the training provided for a local Nigerian crew at CRC Evan’s onshore facility in Nigeria before vessel deployment has been described as an integral element of completing the work. To this end, a training facility was set up, enabling 20 welders and two bevel operators to be trained in a month, allowing them to learn how to use welding equipment and adhere to company and project safety standards. Tom Feteris, Offshore Director of Zeewolde at CRC Evans, commented: “With support from Ripen, we established the training facility and had it up and running in less than a week. This demonstrates our commitment and capability to quickly and efficiently set up a training facility in whichever country we work, to support the skills development of the local workforce. “Aside from the successful completion of the work scope, this part of the story is just as important. We are absolutely committed to meeting local requirements and helping countries grow by expanding the knowledge base of local talent. We are proud of our contribution to this project and the opportunities we had to support and enhance the skills of the local workforce.” While the Scottish firm has been working on projects in Nigeria for more than two decades, the Alpha Project was the first time it had worked with Westfield Energy Resources and the performance on the project enabled it to land a new, larger contract with the same company to carry out welding services on a project in India later this year. “We’re very pleased that we could support Westfield’s maiden project in Nigeria and that their satisfaction with the work that was completed resulted in them putting their faith in us to carry out a bigger project on their behalf,” Feteris added.
