Trelleborg, through its business area Trelleborg Offshore & Construction, has been awarded a contract to supply drill riser buoyancy modules (DRBMs) to a major drilling company. The order is the largest to-date for the offshore operation of Trelleborg. The drill riser buoyancy modules will be produced at Trelleborg’s facilities in Houston, Texas and will be delivered through to the end of 2015.
“We are delighted about the contract, not only because we have the opportunity to apply our advanced solutions for exploration and extraction of oil and gas in ever-deeper waters, but also because of the sheer scale and prestigious nature of the project itself. We expect this type of large and complex solutions – requiring in-depth engineering and application know-how – to become more prevalent, going forward. It underlines our global reach as well as second-to-none capabilities within subsea polymer solutions,” said president of the Trelleborg Offshore & Construction business area, Fredrik Meuller.
