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, Electro-Flow Controls, 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."
"Our products meet the highest safety standards and EFC has developed a sound reputation for providing tailored system solutions to the global oil and gas industry. International business is critical to our success and we aim to continue to develop the work we do in the Middle East," he added.
EFC was founded in 1988 in Aberdeen and has extended its operations in the city with two additional workshops, including a new hydraulic assembly and test facility to further develop its line of Choke & BOP Controls and to assist the firm's growth. EFC has a second design and manufacturing base in Houston.
