EDF Energy, the United Kingdom’s largest producer of low-carbon electricity, has awarded SIMMONS EDECO, the valve maintenance company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, with a contract for wellhead and valve maintenance. The scope of the contract is that SIMMON EDECO will provide the French utility company with a range of services to maintain its Gas Storage facilities in Cheshire, England. More specifically, SIMMONS EDECO is supplying production wellhead and valve maintenance, and integrity testing services to optimise facility operations.
The maintenance program involves installing and removing wellheads and Christmas trees, workover support and making certain that valves are properly maintained and refurbished. It will also include annulus testing and Echometering and data analysis to assess liquid levels in the well. It is a three-year contract with two one-year options to review.
SIMMONS EDECO just completed a contract for EDF Energy, which included maintenance and integrity testing on all cavities, wellheads, Christmas trees and associated equipment. The maintenance team also inspected production valves and gearboxes. This has generated valve procurement and supply, and highlighted re-dress requirements. The work has been carried out in accordance with jointly produced work packs that contain both EDF Energy and SIMMONS EDECO work instructions and procedures.
