Global energy services company Proserv has completed the first phase of one of its largest contracts yet; it is providing sub-sea control systems worth some £24 million for deep-water projects in Brazil.

The firm has delivered the first three of nine control systems that will support drill pipe riser (DPR) intervention services at depths of 2,500m; the remaining six systems are expected to be delivered by the end of the year.

David Lamont, Proserv’s chief executive officer, said: “We are delighted to have completed the opening stage of this contract, which is testament to the hard work, expertise and experience of our global project teams.

From our sub-sea controls experts in Great Yarmouth, who are responsible for the overall project execution, engineering and build of the control systems, to the delivery of the hydraulic power units by our manufacturing facility in Malaysia, this success demonstrates the international collaboration across the business to deliver best-in-class technology and service.”

Proserv’s DPR control system is the first of its kind for the offshore industry. The product incorporates deep-water electro-hydraulic installation and ‘work-over controls’, the tubing hanger running tools and surface test trees. Proserv operates world-wide via 29 facilities in 11 countries and was formed some 40 years ago.
