Flowserve wins US$8mn South China Sea pump order
Fluid motion and control solutions provider Flowserve has won an order of approximately $8 million for pumps from Shell Malaysia Exploration & Production to aid in the oil recovery efforts for the St Joseph field, located in the South China Sea.
The St Joseph field comes under the North Sabah 1996 production sharing contract. Shell and its co-venturer Petronas Carigali are the production sharing contractors of the Malaysian national oil company Petronas with Shell being the operator.
The order was booked with Flowserve in an earlier quarter in 2009 via a Malaysian company, Enserv Sendirian. Flowserve barrel pumps will be used on the redevelopment project to inject seawater into the field to boost oil extraction.
Tom Ferguson, president of Flowserve Pump Division, said: “This is another example of the world’s leading energy companies relying on Flowserve to help them increase their production capabilities.
“Our customers are responding to increasing global demand for oil, which is driving continued infrastructure investment. Flowserve is well-equipped to meet these needs through our extensive product offerings used in the upstream business, and our service facilities located throughout the Asia-Pacific region.”
