SMS delivers to China in record time
Specialised Management Services Ltd (SMS) announces that they have successfully delivered a topside control systems package for the Panyu Field in record time by accelerating the manufacturing time by 4 weeks to meet the client’s fast-track delivery request.
Through expert knowledge of hydraulic control systems and strong project management experience, SMS were able to decrease lead-time by increasing their pool of labour, working additional shifts and expediting suppliers for improved delivery times; this in turn guaranteed the tight schedule could be accomplished, providing the client reassurance, along with exceptional customer service.
The contract was awarded by OneSubsea GmbH (Formerly known as Cameron GmbH) in September 2012 and consisted of 2 Topside Umbilical Termination Units (TUTUs) and a production Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) for installation on the Panyu 34-1 platform. The Panyu Field is located in the South China Sea approximately 200km south of Hong Kong in the Pearl River Basin.
Dave Howlett, General Manager of SMS, comments ‘SMS has built a strong relationship with OneSubsea and has worked with them for the past 5 years with year on year growth. The development of this relationship has been underpinned by the hard work of the SMS team and great communication between the two companies.’
SMS previously supplied the South China Sea region when OneSubsea awarded a contract for a topside controls package consisting of 2 off TUTUs a HPU and a Testing and Flushing HPU for the Liwan 3-1 platform in the Liwan field located about 300km southeast of Hong Kong in March 2011.
The systems were designed, manufactured and tested at SMS’s Great Yarmouth facilities.
