Posted: 16 November 2003
Leading Australian explorer, developer and producer of hydrocarbon
products reinforces long standing relationship; Honeywell to provide
control system for Enfield FPSO
Honeywell Process Solutions has been appointed as preferred control
systems supplier by Woodside Energy Ltd., one of Australia's leading
resources companies.
The preferred supplier arrangement between Woodside and Honeywell
has been formalized through a framework agreement, which will have
an initial term of five years.
The agreement builds upon the long-standing relationship between
Woodside and Honeywell in order to deliver life-of-asset solutions
that provide maximum return on investment.
In conjunction with appointing Honeywell as preferred control systems
supplier, Woodside has also awarded Honeywell a $5.5 million contract
to supply the control systems for the Enfield Floating Production
Storage Offtake (FPSO) project.
The Enfield FPSO will be located 50 kilometres offshore from Exmouth
on the West Australian coast and is due to begin oil production
in mid- to late-2006.
The control system for the Enfield project will include Honeywell's
Experion PKS next generation Process Knowledge System and FOUNDATION
Fieldbus technology. Project management and engineering of the control
systems will be performed from Honeywell's Perth office.
"Honeywell looks forward to further developing our existing
successful relationship with Woodside," said Tony Cosgrove,
General Manager, Honeywell Process Solutions. "It is our experience
that well managed customer/supplier relationships lead to the delivery
of higher value solutions, on better time frames, and with lower
costs to both organizations than do transactional relationships.
We are committed to assisting Woodside Energy to measurably improve
their bottom line over the long term and look forward to making
a positive contribution to the success of the Enfield FPSO".
