EFC Enters Middle East With Rig Upgrade Contract Awards

National Drilling Company (NDC) and Contracts delivered made EFC ideally placed to provide solutions to more Middle East based drilling contractors and project integrators

(PRWEB) January 20, 2005 -- Electro-Flow Controls Ltd.(EFC) publicly launches its products and services in Abu Dhabi by exhibiting at ADIPEC 2004. Rig-wide Instrumentation ranges from single drilling instruments through to sophisticated screen-based drilling systems.

The screen-based systems are client-driven ensuring the solution is 100% tailored, this removes issues often associated with ‘off-the-shelf’ products that have to be adapted.

Contract Awards
1. Maritime Industrial Services Co. Ltd. Inc. (MIS), from their Sharjah shipyard, awarded a Tank Gauging System contract to EFC. The system was successfully delivered on time and in budget to the Al Ittihad, an NDC owned Jack-Up. EFC holds full NDC approval.

The system is for 40 tanks and includes all sensors, data acquisition, analysis and display on full colour screens with tailored software displays.

2. FEMCO GULF, a Russian owned Drilling Contractor based in Dubai, awarded a complete Drilling Instrumentation and Driller’s TV upgrade. The ‘SAKHALINSKAYA’ Jack-Up was based in Dubai Docks for 8 weeks where the systems were installed and commissioned.

EFC’s key benefit in carrying out rig upgrades is its ability to integrate new equipment with existing frameworks where possible. This ensures the solution is cost-effective and a quick turn-around on delivery. Equipment is labeled with two languages as necessary.

3. Rig Upgrade work is ongoing in the Middle East, with a rig survey taking placing this week. EFC’s track record continues to grow as its capabilities are proved through system delivery and its North Sea and global experience is recognised as a valuable asset by UAE companies.
