Amarinth has delivered six API 610 OH2 super duplex stainless steel pumps, worth USD $500 000, to Schlumberger, which will be deployed on a process water treatment package in Kazakhstans Dunga oil field. The order, the first Schlumberger, headquartered in Houston, TX, has placed with Amarinth, was to be delivered within a short 26-week period. As Amarinth has supplied pumps to other Maersk Oil projects, it was familiar with the companys specifications. The Dunga field, operated by Maersk Oil, is an onshore development located 50 km north east of the town of Aktau on the east coast of the Caspian Sea in western Kazakhstan, and is currently producing roughly 15, 000 barrels of oil per day.
The pumps will operate in the challenging Kazakhstan environment that can see temperatures that reach 45ºC in summer and -30ºC in winter. Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, said: We are delighted to have delivered this first order from Schlumberger for Maersk Oil, particularly as the pumps were destined for Kazakhstan, a region where we already have a lot of experience. We look forward to working on future projects.
