Corrosion and erosion monitoring and chemical injection and optimization provider Cosasco (Santa Fe Springs, California) has been awarded contracts worth $3 million with L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering (Mumbai, India) to deliver corrosion monitoring systems to a major energy company in the Middle East.
The corrosion and erosion monitoring groups will install 80 of their MICROCOR ER probes, 48 corrosion coupon assemblies, and 18 chemical injection points at two offshore fields—one gas and one oil. The company is also providing consultancy, manufacturing, in-field support, and a long-term warranty.
Cosasco is currently manufacturing the products for delivery and installation at the offshore sites, beginning in the second half of 2016. The corrosion monitoring system will transmit data to a monitoring server at a central location. From there, the operator will be able to analyze the data to support decision making to extend asset life, maximize production, and minimize the risk of outages.
“This operator has a reputation for employing the most innovative technologies to deliver the highest quality operations,” says Mark Smith, business unit director for Europe, Middle East, and Africa. “What’s more, this project presents a complex technical and regulatory environment. Our team has extensive experience in these areas, which means we’re perfectly placed to deliver.”
The operator’s challenges include extreme high pressures and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the throughput, according to the service provider, which explains that the probes—known for their sensitivity and high-quality data—are specifically designed for H2S applications.
The name and specific location of the operating company were not disclosed.
