Tracerco awarded major contract

Tracerco, part of Johnson Matthey Plc, has received its second order for the ConocoPhillips’ Bohai Bay project in China.

The multi-million dollar order, placed by Fluor Daniel, is to supply sixteen of its advanced separator level control instrument to ConocoPhillips’ second development phase of the Peng Lai field. Phase II development of the field was approved by the Chinese government in January 2005.

The TRACERCO Profiler™, an award-winning instrument, uses advanced measurement technology to accurately determine and control the contents of oil and gas production separators. It has proved a big hit with oil and gas operators around the world as it can not only lower operating and maintenance costs, but can also increase production rates and decrease environmental risks. Since the launch of the Profiler in 1999, over 100 units have been sold worldwide.
