Smith Flow Control has recently received an Award from the Jasmine Project for its support and supply to the Jasmine Offshore Oil Field in the North Sea.
First discovered in 2006, Jasmine Field is considered to be the UK's largest discovery since the mid-1990s; the UK Government approved the development of the field in 2010 with ConocoPhillips holding 36.5% interest.
SFC supplied safety valve interlocks to Jasmine, Jasmine Wellhead and Judy Riser Platform, supporting 50 systems with over 150 interlocks.
Smith Flow Control's interlocks ensure that potentially dangerous valve processes on the Oil & Gas platforms happen in a designated, safe sequence. This simple, mechanical process protects operators and plant and equipment from the dangers of unsafe working practices, such as safety relief systems and pigging.
Ben Townsend is the Lead Project Engineer for the Jasmine Project and received the Award on behalf of Smith Flow Control. Ben said:
