ENERGY and infrastructure technology specialist EnerMech has picked up another major offshore contract in North West Australia.
The Aberdeen, UK-headquartered company, which has its regional base in Perth and other offices in Darwin, Gladstone, Chinchilla, Brisbane and Sydney, said it has been awarded a significant contract to deliver pre-commissioning and specialist services for “a major offshore gas development located in the East Browse Basin”.
The full scope of work, which will be carried out between October 2025 and April 2026, includes the provision of riser and umbilical services for the second phase of the project’s installation campaign. This involves complex operations such as flooding, top-up, and leak testing of flexible risers, as well as post-loadout and post-installation testing of dynamic umbilicals. The services will be executed across multiple locations including Malaysia and Australia, with offshore activities centred around a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility.
Although EnerMech did not identify the customer, the details would seem to align with Santos’s Barossa project, featuring the FPSO BW Opal, which recently reported First Gas.
“The project will be delivered by EnerMech’s highly experienced local team, leveraging deep technical expertise and a strong operational footprint across Western Australia. The team is supported by a robust fleet of owned equipment and a proven track record in delivering similar scopes for major energy clients,” the company said.
VP Asia Pacific Jason Jeow said “Contracts like this are awarded based on past and current performance and proven capability in this sector. EnerMech has a track record of bringing agile project management to meet dynamic mobilisation schedules, well established skills, expertise and methodologies and high-quality, well-maintained equipment, all of which underpin our commitment to getting things right first time to deliver projects on time, within budget, and most importantly doing it safely and without harm to the environment.”
This new award follows EnerMech’s involvement in previous large-scale LNG projects in Australia, including Wheatstone and Gorgon and Pluto LNG 2.
