Kintore subsea controls specialist J+S Subsea has signed a contract with Harbour Energy to deliver new equipment into the Brodgar gas/condensate field worth more than £1 million.
This new contract comes after a strong performance in the design and delivery of a new subsea control module mounting base for the Callanish F6 Xmas Tree back in early 2023.
The new contract includes the design of a new Brodgar H4 skid based subsea distribution unit, a 400m in-field umbilical to connect the H5 XT, to the H4 skid, and various interconnecting electrical and hydraulic jumpers to tie-in the subsea infrastructure.
As the company’s largest single contract since a management buyout two years ago, the move represents a significant milestone for J+S Subsea, which continues to grow from strength to strength and is projected to achieve revenues of upwards of £10 million in very near future.
This steep growth trajectory, buoyed by an ongoing commitment to the circular economy, has also seen the Kintore-based team grow to over 30 full-time employees, with additional appointments planned the latter half of this year.
As well as an increasing volume of work from the renewables, decommissioning and other sectors, core services such as the design of electrical distribution units and jumpers to reinstate power on assets, and the design of bespoke subsea electrical and hydraulic distribution assemblies continues to be a significant part of the company's core business.
Meanwhile, growing demand for the Legacy Locker, an open industry portal for the reuse, refurbishment and recycling of subsea equipment, continues to attract demand from existing and new customers.
J+S Subsea managing director Phil Reid said: “This is undoubtedly a milestone contract in terms of our growth and capability, and an excellent demonstration of our client’s commitment to supporting locally-based SMEs.
“We have worked hard to ensure that we are on point when it comes to delivering the best products and services backed by some of the best people in the industry, and contract awards such as this indicate the potential of this winning combination.”
