Canada-based Simmons Edeco, a privately-owned oilfield service company, said it has dramatically expanded and enhanced its European operations base in Great Yarmouth, England.

Simmons Edeco is a major supplier of wellhead and valve maintenance, asset integrity solutions and onshore drilling services to the global oil and gas industry.
 
The new 100,000-sq-ft complex offers significant benefits to customers and staff. For example, the company delivers its recently launched Well Life Cycle & Well Integrity Awareness Programme to train employees and customers in valve and wellhead maintenance, said a statement from the company.  
 
The expanded state-of-the-art maintenance centre and bigger warehouse lets the company store, service and deploy equipment more efficiently.  

Space dedicated to office and administration has also been enlarged to house the 84-plus staff that support operations around the world. This translates to greater hands-on project management and rapid response, ultimately reducing costs for customers, it added.
 
During recent months, EDF Energy, SSE and a major operator in the Southern North Sea have awarded valve and wellhead maintenance service contracts to the company, which are being supported from Great Yarmouth, said a statement.
 
In addition to serving as a European hub for valve, wellhead and asset integrity maintenance, the facility showcases Simmons Edeco systems, including single- and dual-completion training Christmas trees, and specialist treatment products, as well as asset integrity solutions, onshore drilling and workover services.

Brian Kelly, valve and well services manager for Simmons Edeco Europe, said: “This first-class facility reflects the quality of service and innovation that have become synonymous with our company during the past 55 years.”

“By combining our engineering services, service centre, operations and training functions in one central location, we are truly harnessing the full potential of our experienced workforce and field-proven technologies.  And our customers around the world benefit,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
