px Group Wins Contract to Operate 294-Mile North Sea Gas Pipeline
(P&GJ) — TotalEnergies E&P UK has awarded px Group a long-term multiyear contract to operate the SEAL pipeline, a critical component of the U.K. energy supply and energy security.
The pipeline is 474 km (294 miles) long with a diameter of 34 inches and has been operational for more than 20 years. The SEAL pipeline transports sales quality gas from the Elgin Franklin platform in the Central Graben Area of the North Sea to the dedicated SEAL module at the Bacton gas terminal on the Norfolk coast.
With the addition of this contract, px is now responsible for managing commercial operations of approximately 40% of the UK gas supply.
Using the latest IT cloud technology, px Group will operate and manage the SEAL pipeline via a number of cloud applications. The project also included the recruitment and training of a full complement of shift personnel along with the project management of building, testing and operating the new control infrastructure.
Along with owning and operating the Saltend Chemicals Park, this new contract adds to an international portfolio of critical energy operations and maintenance contracts. The portfolio includes the St. Fergus Gas Terminal in Scotland, the Teesside Gas Processing Plant in England, and the Risavika Liquefaction Plant in Norway, which are all operated and maintained by px Group on behalf of North Sea Midstream Partners, the owner of the assets.
“px Group takes enormous pride in taking operational ownership of essential energy assets such as these,” Geoff Holmes, CEO of px Group, said. “We apply our ‘owner-operator’ approach to everything we do for our clients, which means we treat the assets as if they were our own, ensuring they’re being run as safely, effectively and efficiently as possible.”
