Servelec, the Sheffield-based technology and software group, has won a contract by a UK gas supplier to provide a remote operations solution for a gas platform in the North Sea.

The group will achieve this by deploying a specially developed Servelec Controls system.

Work has now started on the project and is expected to contribute towards revenues in the current financial year.

Following installation on the first platform by May 2017, there are options to extend the system to cover additional platforms.

Alan Stubbs, chief executive officer of Servelec Group, said: “As a business focused on helping our customers to reduce their Opex whilst extending the life of ageing assets, we are proud to be working with our customer on this game-changing project.

“The remote operations and monitoring system provided by Servelec will extend the operational life and viability of the platform for years to come.

“This project marks a significant achievement for Servelec and further strengthens the Group’s position with regards to winning additional contracts on this customer’s other assets as well as with other OEMs; many of whom we are already in discussion with about future opportunities.”
