Intertek is providing important testing, inspection, and measuring services to support the development and production of the latest project to come onstream offshore Angola, the CLOV (Cravo, Lirio, Orquidea and Violeta fields). Intertek provided services to the CLOV’s FPSO terminal on Block 17.
Along with crude oil production cargo inspection, Intertek provided the flow measurement services (meter prover calibrations) for the 36” crude oil fiscal metering system, onboard FPSO CLOV. Similar services have also been provided to the Dalia, Girassol and Pazflor FPSO platforms. Flow measurement calibrations help to ensure accurate and reliable production volumes are recorded.
Dave Ruddin, Regional Business Line Leader for Intertek’s Cargo Services business in Southern Africa, said, “We are proud to be involved in supporting operations at the new CLOV exploration and production facility. Intertek handled cargo inspection and testing for the very first crude oil cargo loading from the new FPSO. We also handled the very first loading from the nearby Dalia and Pazflor FPSO, which indicates our client has confidence in the Angolan Intertek team’s ability to take on new challenges. We continue to handle crude oil tanker loadings to support our offshore Angola customers.”
