Ennsub executes sealing work on Wheatsone LNG platform

Aberdeen-headquartered Ennsub said it has completed the design, manufacture, testing and installation of bespoke sealing systems for the Wheatstone Liquefied Natural Gas platform off the coast of Australia.

The company was approached by a marine contractor to design two different systems to provide an external and internal sealing system for 64-off 8” NS ballasting pipes located at each corner of the platform, Ennsub said in a statement.

Ennsub was responsible for the design and supply of all equipment, including downline recovery winches, remote disconnect heads and isolation plugs. Following an intensive factory acceptance test programme, which simulated the offshore conditions, four Ennsub engineers were mobilised to Australia to perform the installation of the 128-off bespoke sealing systems.
