Norco Group Ltd, an energy storage equipment manufacturer and service provider, has been awarded a contract for the supply of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and standby battery equipment on TEP Angola’s assets in offshore Block 17.
This includes the Dalia, Girassol, Pazflor and CLOV Floating Production, Storage and Offloading facilities (FPSOs).
Running for three years with an optional two-year extension, the contact will see Norco providing preventative maintenance as well as emergency fault response.
This latest award comes on the back of similar agreements with major operators in Ghana and Equatorial Guinea, and will run alongside an existing contract with Total E&P UK Ltd.
Commenting on the contract, Finbar Kelly, who is the Commercial & Contracts Manager at Norco, said: “We’re delighted to be able to put pen to paper on this after some serious work behind the scenes. It’s our biggest strategic step thus far into offshore West Africa, and now we’re all focussed on delivering what we’ve agreed with Total.”
On his part, John Roy (Director) said: “It’s a testament to the work of the International Development team, as well as the engineers who have serviced the contract with Total in the UK, that we’ve been also now selected to work with them in Angola. I’m sure there will be logistics challenges in the current climate but we’re looking forward to proving we’re up to the task.”
Headquartered in Aberdeen, UK, and with offices in Abu Dhabi, Norco Group is UPS and Industrial Battery specialist.
An independently owned and managed group of companies, Norco has over 30 years of onshore, offshore and overseas operations.
