Houston-based marine engineering firm Zentech has been selected by UAE-based ADNOC Drilling on an exclusive basis to provide comprehensive engineering support for all ADNOC Drilling engineering needs for both its offshore and onshore drilling rigs.

The award includes the full range of the engineering service provision of Zentech including but not limited to structural engineering, marine engineering, naval architecture, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, Zentech said in a statement earlier this week.

This all-encompassing contract is for a three-year period.

This engineering contract strongly complements the already existing standardization that ADNOC Drilling has implemented with the use of Zentech’s Load & Stability program for jack-ups (LosJack) for its entire offshore fleet for day-to-day operations.

Ajai Peter, Area Manager of Zentech’s UAE Operations, commented, “On behalf of our CEO, Ramesh Maini, and our entire company, we are delighted with this award as a recognition of our continued service, quality and commitment to ADNOC Drilling and to the Offshore industry around the world.

“This will further strengthen the 16 year relationship we have with ADNOC Drilling,” he added.

In related news, Zentech has recently been awarded an engineering and project management scope for the conversion of the Key Gibraltar jack-up rig to a mobile offshore production unit (MOPU) for deployment in the HOEC-operated B-80 field, offshore Mumbai.
