3/8/2010 - BJ SERVICES SECURES CONTRACT FOR PRE-COMMISSIONING SERVICES FOR GORGON PROJECT
|
|
BJ Services (Australia) Pty Ltd has been awarded an $80 million dollar contract by Chevron Australia Pty Ltd to provide pipeline pre-commissioning services associated with the construction of the Gorgon Project, located off the coast of Western Australia.
The Gorgon Project involves the development of the Jansz and Gorgon fields located approximately 130 km to 200 km off the northwest coast of Western Australia. The project consists of subsea facilities, offshore and onshore pipelines and umbilicals tied back to an LNG processing facility on Barrow Island (BWI).
The project will be managed from BJ Services’ new dedicated facility in Welshpool, Perth, which was recently opened to meet the demands of the growing Western Australia market. A dedicated zone at the base will be created to quarantine all equipment designated for use on BWI. One of the keys to success of this operation will be the cleaning and preparation of all equipment to meet the stringent quarantine standards on BWI.
Engineering and planning work commenced in January 2010. The first mobilization is scheduled to take place in Q4 2010.
