Appreciation Extended To The Project Team At Drydocks World For The Recently Completed And Installed Solan Subsea Storage Facility

October 2014

Premier Oil would like to thank DDW and their team for the successful fabrication, testing and delivery of the Solan Oil Storage Tank (SOST). The description of Tank belies the sophistication and complexity in fabrication, erection, testing and outfitting of the SOST. On the face of it what looked like a relatively straight forward project there was many challenges imbedded in the design, function and operation which were all made more difficult with the tight delivery schedule that was required. DDW rose to the occasion and overcame the many unique challenges which would have been outside most fabricators technical scope. The coordination of the various work types and locations, which all posed technical and safety issues, were managed to a high level of excellence, as is evident by the world class quality and safety record exhibited during the Project. As you know the Tank has now been installed successfully which is a further endorsement of your work since this installation procedure was not straight forward and relied heavily on the fabrication and outfitting scope being completed to the highest spec. Once again I would like to that the DDW Project Team for all their hard work, perseverance and expertise that was required to deliver this the SOST. Robert Irvine- Project Manager from Premier Oil

The production team from DDW met with the His Excellency Khamis Juma Buamim, Chairman of Drydocks World and Maritime World and Eng. Ali AlSuwaidi Vice President - Business Development, Commercial & Project Management at Drydocks World at MBC 10th floor to go over the Solan Oil Storage Facility Project Lifecycle discussing the project overview, construction cycle, challenges faced, execution, achievements, lessons learned, and interesting facts. The team deliberated over important aspects of the project and were congratulated on a job well-done.
