    SPIE awarded multi-year engineering services contract

    SPIE Oil & Gas Services, a subsidiary of SPIE, the independent European leader in multi-technical services in the areas of energy and communications, has been awarded a contract from Chevron Australia Pty Ltd to provide Process Automation Systems (PAS) integration services for its subsea gas compression system for the Jansz-Io field, offshore Western Australia.

    The Jansz-Io gas field is located around 200 kilometres off the north-western coast of Western Australia, at water depths of approximately 1,400 meters. The field is a part of the Chevron-operated Gorgon facility, one of the world’s largest natural gas developments. As the reservoir pressure of the Jansz-Io field declines after years of production, compression infrastructure is required to enhance the recoverability of the field. 

    The services are carried out by the local Australian subsidiary, SPIE Oil & Gas Services Pty Ltd, and cover all systems integration engineering associated with the subsea gas compression system and field control station along with brownfield modifications required on the existing Gorgon facilities. The engineering services will be also executed in multiple global centres with SPIE’s embedded personnel working closely with EPC* design teams. 

    Work has already commenced on the project and presents an opportunity for SPIE Oil & Gas Services to showcase its technical expertise in tie-backs of greenfield subsea systems to existing operational LNG infrastructure. “We are very pleased to have been selected for this complex and one-of-a-kind project. It further solidifies our position as a global main automation contractor of choice, for major operators worldwide. We look forward to delivering our specialist engineering services that leverage off our global reach in these challenging times”, commented Christophe Bernhart, Managing Director of SPIE Oil & Gas Services.

    SPIE Oil & Gas Services Pty Ltd has been working with Chevron Australia since 2012. The Chevron-operated Gorgon Project is a joint venture between the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron (47.333 percent), ExxonMobil (25 percent), Shell (25 percent), Osaka Gas (1.25 percent), Tokyo Gas (1 percent) and JERA (0.417 percent).

    Tina Olivero

    30 years ago, Tina Olivero looked into the future and saw an opportunity to make a difference for her province and people. That difference came in the form of the oil and gas sector. Six years before there was even a drop of oil brought to the shores of Newfoundland, she founded The Oil and Gas Magazine (THE OGM) from a back room in her home on Signal Hill Road, in St. John’s, Newfoundland. A single mother, no financing, no previous journalism or oil and gas experience, she forged ahead, with a creative vision and one heck of a heaping dose of sheer determination. With her pioneering spirit, Ms. Olivero developed a magazine that would educate, inspire, motivate and entertain oil and gas readers around the world — She prides herself in marketing and promoting our province and resources in unprecedented ways. The OGM is a magazine that focuses on our projects, our people, our opportunities and ultimately becomes the bridge to new energy outcomes and a sustainable new energy world. Now diversifying into the communications realms, a natural progression from the Magazine, The OGM now offers an entirely new division - Oil & Gas Media. Today, The Oil and Gas Magazine is a global phenomenon that operates not only in Newfoundland, but also in Calgary and is read by oil and gas enthusiasts in Norway, Aberdeen, across the US and as far reaching as Abu Dhabi, in the Middle East. Believing that Energy is everyone’s business, Ms. Olivero has combined energy + culture to embrace the worlds commitment to a balance of work and home life as well as fostering a foundation for health and well being. In this era of growth and development business and lifestyle are an eloquent mix, there is no beginning or end. Partnering with over 90 oil and gas exhibitions and conferences around the world, Ms. Olivero's role as a Global Visionary is to embrace communication in a way that fosters oil and gas business and industry growth in new and creative ways.
