Security and surveillance technology company, Synectics, has won two contracts, totalling £2.3m, for oil and gas projects in Qatar and Brazil.
The contract in Qatar, which is worth approximately £1.8m, will see Sheffield-headquartered Synectics supply North Oil Company (NOC), which is responsible for 45% of the country’s oil production, with its security camera station technology.
NOC is preparing to increase production at the offshore Ruya Project, as part of the expansion of the Al-Shaheen field, Qatar’s largest oil field.
The COEX camera stations will be supplied in two phases, expected to occur in 2025 and 2026.
The camera stations will be deployed for the surveillance of critical locations on the offshore platforms and to monitor operational activities to ensure the safety and security of NOC’s employees and assets.
Separately, Synectics has been selected to provide its specialist security and surveillance solutions for a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel in Brazil with a contract value of approximately £500,000.
The solution will be integral to the vessel’s security operations and overall situational awareness, ensuring compliance with rigorous offshore safety and performance requirements.
Amanda Larnder, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, said: “Our track record of technical excellence within the oil and gas sector is further evidenced by securing these two important contract wins.
“This is the third phase of the Al-Shaheen expansion awarded to us, and we are pleased that we continue to be the vendor of choice on this prestigious project. We look forward to working with North Oil Company and continuing to strengthen our long-standing relationship.
“The award of the FPSO vessel represents another key milestone for Synectics in supporting critical offshore operations with innovative and reliable technology tailored to meet the demands of the global energy sector.”
