Deep Down Wins Shell Order

Houston-based oilfield services company Deep Down said it has received an order for umbilical support services from Shell Trinidad and Tobago.

The company specializing in complex deepwater and ultra-deepwater oil production distribution system support services said in a press note that the order is for the design, fabrication, project management, and installation support for an umbilical repair/replacement package to restore communications to the Poinsettia Deep Well offshore Trinidad and Tobago.

The Poinsettia platform is located off the northwest coast of Trinidad in 530 feet of water.

Offshore operations will likely occur in the first quarter of 2020, the release said.

Ron Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Deep Down, Inc. said, "This award further highlights the success of our efforts to continue expanding our customer base internationally, especially in the provision of inspection, maintenance and repair solutions.”
