EFC Group, a designer and manufacturer of instrumentation, monitoring, control and handling systems for the global oil and gas industry, has completed a GBP 1.3M contract to design and build a BOP and diverter control system for China based Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Offshore Co (DSIC Offshore). The system is installed on-board DSIC’s new build jack up drilling rig, JU2000E-13. DSIC is supplying the rig to drilling contractor Apexindo, where it will be known as ‘Tasha’.
Bob Will, CEO at EFC Group, said: “This is a major contract for EFC, continuing our growth plan to become world class leader in control systems for both rig upgrades and new builds alike. It is also a significant project that’s been supported by our manufacturing base in Forres, which gives us the additional capacity required to undertake projects of this scale.”
The BOP and diverter control system delivers a robust solution with central architecture on a fibre optic network. These systems are used to control the blowout preventer to seal, control and monitor the well and are critical for ensuring the safety of the crew, the rig, well integrity and the environment.
