FMC Technologies awarded a contract to JDR for a job in West Africa. The contract with FMC covers the design and supply of umbilicals and reels for a Intervention Workover Control System (IWOCS) for a West African field development.
The project calls upon JDR’s field-proven experience across the whole spectrum of IWOCS componentry – from hydraulics to fiber optics – with 20km of specially designed JDR IWOCs umbilicals that will be deployed across nine JDR-designed reelers. JDR’s ability to provide the full range of umbilicals and reelers, combined with the pre-qualification of its designs, will enable delivery against short lead times and can reduce project risk.
The project, with a delivery time in mid-2014, will be designed by JDR’s in-house engineering teams and manufactured at its facility in Littleport. JDR will also test and pre-qualify the reeler packages in advance of deployment.
Andrew Norman, CEO of JDR, stated: “This contract demonstrates both the growing demand for umbilicals and reels and JDR’s technical ability to deliver for FMC Technologies in a limited timeframe. We’ve had a long and fruitful relationship with FMC Technologies and I’m delighted we could partner once again on what will be JDR’s largest-ever umbilical and reeler order. We are the global leader in umbilicals and reels and are committed to remaining the technical leader in this growing field of business.”
