Kent Awarded Telecoms Systems Integrator Contract on Jansz-Io Compression Project

• Kent will provide detailed engineering, procurement, integration and testing of the telecoms package for the project’s normally unattended semi-submersible Field Control Station (FCS).
• The work will be completed at Kent's Perth facility and all equipment is sourced through local vendors.
• This continues Kent's long track record of delivering various telecoms contracts for Chevron Australia over the previous 15 years.

Kent, a leading engineering services provider in the oil and gas and low-carbon energy sectors, has been awarded the contract to provide detailed engineering, procurement, integration and testing of the telecoms infrastructure/systems package for the Field Control Station for the Jansz-Io Compression (JIC) Project by DSME.

Kent has a long history of providing integrated telecoms packages for the Chevron-operated Gorgon project. Their team of expert engineers and technicians shall support delivery of the telecoms EPC contract and have since provided telecoms maintenance for the LNG plant on Barrow Island and other Chevron Australia facilities.

Joe McCormick, Kent's Executive Vice President of Operations in AsiaPac, said: "We are absolutely delighted with the award of this contract and the faith both DSME and Chevron Australia has placed in us based on our in-depth knowledge and experience with the existing systems installed on Barrow Island and other Chevron sites."

Kent's scope of work will take place at their facility in Perth and will ensure the diverse systems from multiple vendors are integrated correctly to ensure reliable communications and security for the not normally attended facility.
