Woodside Energy appoints Honeywell

Honeywell Process Solutions has announced that it has been appointed as preferred control systems supplier by Woodside Energy Ltd, one of Australia's leading resource companies.

The preferred supplier arrangement between Woodside and Honeywell has been formalised through a framework agreement, which will have an initial term of five years.

The agreement builds on the long-standing relationship between Woodside and Honeywell in order to deliver life-of-asset solutions that provide maximum return on investment. In conjunction with appointing Honeywell as preferred control systems supplier, Woodside has also awarded Honeywell an AU$8 million contract to supply the control systems for the Enfield Floating Production Storage Offtake (FPSO) project.

The Enfield FPSO will be located 50 km offshore from Exmouth on the West Australian coast and is due to begin oil production in mid to late 2006. The control system for the Enfield project will include Honeywell's Experion PKS next generation Process Knowledge System and Foundation Fieldbus technology. Project management and engineering of the control systems will be performed from Honeywell's Perth office.
