Proserv delivers opening phase of record contract

ABERDEEN, United Kingdom -- Proserv has completed the first phase of one of its largest contracts yet to provide subsea control systems for deepwater projects in Brazil.

The firm has delivered the initial three of nine control systems that will support drill pipe riser (DPR) intervention services at depths of 2,500 m.

The work forms part of a $40-million deal with a leading oilfield service company. The remaining six systems are expected to be delivered by the turn of the year in line with key project milestones.

Proserv’s DPR control system is the first of its kind for the offshore industry. The product incorporates deepwater electro-hydraulic installation and workover controls for supporting the manipulation of all subsea operations, the tubing hanger running tools and surface test trees.

The systems all feature Proserv’s Artemis 2G, a next-generation subsea electronics module, which has been specifically designed to suit challenging environmental and operational conditions.
