ENGlobal Corporation (ENG) to Standardize Subsea Control TecENGlobal Corporation (ENG) to Standardize Subsea Control Technology with Universal Master Control Station
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.
