UK-based instrumentation, monitoring and control systems manufacturer Electro-Flow Controls (EFC) has completed contracts worth more than $1 million for choke control systems in the Middle East and the UAE.
The company said it has also recently appointed an agent in Abu Dhabi to support plans to develop business in the Emirates.
EFC, which employs 50 people at its bases in Aberdeen, UK, and Houston, Texas, has designed and built eight customised choke control systems for rig upgrades in the region in the past 24 months. Work has included a recently-completed project on a Saipem jack-up for an Aramco contract.
The choke control systems incorporate some of EFC’s innovative well control features such as a separate hydraulics module, Finescale Pressure Gauge set, Liquid Seal Monitor and Overboard Valve controls.
John Wheeler, managing director of EFC, said, “EFC has developed a sophisticated range of choke controls and well control systems by working with subsea experts in some of the most demanding locations the industry is faced with.”
