Oilfield services provider Petrofac has secured a contract to provide a condition monitoring programme for Bumi Armada’s Olombendo floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit.
The FPSO is currently under conversion in Singapore and will be deployed to the Eni field 15/06 East Hub field development offshore Angola by this year end.
Under the three-year contract, Petrofac will be responsible for training, implementation of the condition monitoring programme and provision of an ABS initial submission report.
The company’s work will also include monthly vibration and lube oil analysis, risk based reporting and hardware and software support through its CBMnet internet-enabled management reporting system.
Using CBMnet, clients will be able to optimise maintenance and manage the risk to delivery of their business objectives by evaluating critical rotating machinery condition.
Hosted online, the system is managed by Petrofac’s in-house team.
