ENERGY WORKS TECHNOLOGY UNVEILS FIRST MADE-IN-NIGERIA: 90mm STAINLESS STEEL CLAD VESSEL

ENERGY WORKS TECHNOLOGY UNVEILS FIRST MADE-IN-NIGERIA: 90mm STAINLESS STEEL CLAD VESSEL

Energy Works Technology (EWT) Limited is a Nigerian indigenous company incorporated in 1999 having its construction yard located within the NestOil Industrial Area, End of Okilo Road, Abuloma, Port Harcourt, Rivers state.

Energy Works Technology Ltd. (EWT) has been a pioneer in pressure vessels, process equipment manufacturer, steel structures fabrication and an EPCI service provider in the Nigerian and West Africa region, serving the Oil & Gas as well non-Oil & Gas sectors.

EWT’s current capabilities include a full range of fabrication services for certified process packages and steel structures. She commenced construction of Mega Workshop in July, 2010. Operations commenced within partially completed facility in 2012 and the Mega workshop was completed in December 2013.

OVERVIEW OF THE SOKU NON-ASSOCIATED GAS (NAG) PROJECT

Awarded to EWT in 2012 with the sole objective of developing the in-country fabrication capacity in line with the NOGICD Act, 2010, thereby ensuring the availability of local capacity to handle future projects of such complexity.

The vessel which is 90mm thick, 316 stainless steel clad Inlet Separator is of 3.2m Internal Diameter and 6.7m Tan/Tan length, the overall length of the vessel is 12.03m

This Stainless steel Clad Separator Vessel in addition to other compression packages will enable the Client: Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) extend the production of reservoirs that would not have the energy to overcome the gas plant’s high back pressure. This reservoir would be produced at a lower back pressure ca. 40 bar and Compression would be used to boost back gas pressure into the gas plant for further processing before export to NLNG Facility in Bonny. This is aimed at increasing efficiency of the reservoir at Soku NAG.

The inlet Separator will be used to knock out entrained liquids from the feed natural gas.

IN-COUNTRY ACHIEVEMENT

In the course of executing this project, EWT has developed and trained her local workforce in extended specialties and also acquired equipment for specialized activities in the fabrication process.

SPDC has partnered with the NCDMB to reinstate their commitments to develop the Nigerian local content capacity in the oil and gas industry, in line with the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act, 2010.

The unveiling ceremony gathered several stakeholders in the industry, like the Executive Secretary of the NCDMB, Mr.Denzil Kentebe in company of other key personnel of the Board, representatives from SPDC and other IOC's.
