ENGlobal,
through its Subsea Controls and Integration (SCI) group, provides advanced
process automation design, engineering services and equipment for the effective
integration of communication between topside production facilities and subsea
devices on offshore drilling rigs around the world. Since 2008, the company has
been developing a Universal Master Control Station (UMCS) designed to easily
communicate with subsea equipment from any supplier. In cooperation with a
major global energy and power company, ENGlobal’s efforts to develop and
commercialize its UMCS have been a major focus of the company’s recent business
strategy.
In October
2013, ENGlobal announced the successful installation of the first UMCS on an
offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico which was operated by a major oil and
gas company. In March 2014, the company reported that its patent application
for its UMCS was approved, and an order for an additional UMCS was received
from the initial client. In an effort to expand on its prospects with many new
subsea and offshore clients, the company hired Michael Martin as SCI Business
Manager with a focus on developing increased business based on the company’s
UMCS, as well as other existing technologies.
By focusing
on configuration rather than programming, ENGlobal’s UMCS offers clients an
opportunity to reduce integration costs and improve subsea control integration
reliability while minimizing down time. The company’s solution eliminates the
need for supplier-specific Master Control Systems (MCS), which potentially results
in increased savings and improved system functionality with no compromise on
safety or effectiveness. With a working proof-of-concept already in place, the
company has secured UMCS and MCS projects with globally recognized major oil
and gas companies.
ENGlobal’s
corporate pursuit is to become the preferred provider of innovative automation
integration services to clients across the globe. Serving markets including
upstream, midstream and downstream energy production and the alternative energy
industry, the company currently provides design, fabrication and implementation
services to clients in a variety of industrial sectors.
