MEMBER NEWS: J+S Subsea Limited secures significant contract with Harbour Energy

Leading Subsea Controls Specialist, J+S Subsea Limited has signed a contract with Harbour Energy to deliver new subsea equipment into the Brodgar gas/condensate field worth more than £1 million.

This new contract comes after a strong performance in the design and delivery of a new Subsea Control Module Mounting Base (SCMMB) for the Callanish F6 Xmas Tree (XT) back in early 2023.

This new contract includes the design of a new Brodgar H4 Skid based Subsea Distribution Unit (SDU), a 400m in-field umbilical to connect the H5 XT, to the H4 Skid, and various interconnecting electrical and hydraulic jumpers to tie-in the subsea infrastructure.

As the company’s largest single contract since a management buyout two years ago, the move represents a significant milestone for J+S Subsea, which continues to grow from strength-to-strength and is projected to achieve revenues of upwards of £10 million in very near future.

This steep growth trajectory, buoyed by an ongoing commitment to the circular economy, has also seen our Kintore based team grow to over 30 full-time employees, with additional appointments planned the latter half of this year.

As well as an increasing volume of work from the renewables, decommissioning and other sectors, core services such as the design of electrical distribution units and jumpers to reinstate power on assets, and the design of bespoke subsea electrical and hydraulic distribution assemblies continues to be a significant part of our core business. Meanwhile, growing demand for the Legacy Locker, an open industry portal for the reuse, refurbishment, and recycling of subsea equipment, continues to attract demand from existing and new customers.

Commenting on the latest news, J+S Subsea Limited Managing Director Phil Reid said: “This is undoubtedly a milestone contract in terms of our growth and capability, and an excellent demonstration of our client’s commitment to supporting locally-based SMEs.

“We have worked hard to ensure that we are on point when it comes to delivering the best products and services backed by some of the best people in the industry, and contract awards such as this indicate the potential of this winning combination.” To find out more, visit www.jands.co.uk

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
