Energy consultancy firm Xodus Group has been awarded a contract to provide vibration engineering services at Qatargas’ onshore and offshore facilities
Working in partnership with Chiyoda Almana Engineering, Xodus Group said that it is looking to develop a long‐term piping integrity management programme to assess, reduce or eliminate vibration in all of the Qatargas facilities.
The US$1mn one-year contract is for a technical services vibration programme at the Qatargas QG1, QG2 and QG3 and QG4 LNG facilities, Ras Laffan Refinery and associated offshore assets, with the option of an extension for a further two years, the UK-based company said.
Xodus Group, which offers integrated oil and gas services covering surface and sub-surface, launched its Dubai office in 2012 and has secured more than US$20mn of contracts in the Middle East region since.
Colin Manson, CEO of Xodus Group, said, “Our specialist vibration expertise is ideally suited to some of the challenges facing operators in Qatar and across the region. Eliminating vibration supports integrity management plans and can deliver significant asset cost savings. In partnership with Chiyoda Almana Engineering, we look forward to working with Qatargas to address integrity issues to assist production.”
