Woodside Energy appoints Honeywell as preferred control systems supplier

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".
