Shawcor Receives Commitments for Five Pipe Coating Projects, Collectively Valued Over $200M, and Completes Sale of Argentine Subsidiary
December 20 2022 - 7:30AM
Shawcor Ltd. (TSX: SCL) announced today that its pipe coating
division, Pipeline Performance Group (“PPG”), has received several
project commitments which, in aggregate, are valued over $200
million. These commitments include:
- A Letter of Intent (“LOI”) from
Saipem for a deep-water development project in South
America. The Company anticipates that it will receive a formal
contract in the first half of 2023, subject to project sanction and
the necessary government authorizations. Shawcor will provide
thermal insulation and anticorrosion coating services from a
Western Hemisphere facility. Project initiation is expected to
begin in the fourth quarter of 2023.
- Two binding
letters of intent (“LOI’s”) and two purchase orders (“PO’s”) for
the provision of insulation coating services on four Brazilian
offshore projects. One of the projects will utilize Shawcor’s
proprietary ULTRA™ technology, representing the second deployment
of ULTRA on offshore Brazilian pipelines. Coating activity will
begin in the first half of 2023 and is expected to be completed by
the end of 2024. All four projects have already been sanctioned,
however, Shawcor’s official purchase orders and notices to proceed
for the two projects under LOI are expected to be received during
the first half of 2023. All work will be executed from Shawcor’s
Serra, Brazil facility.
“Shawcor has worked hard to earn a strong
reputation in South America for providing high-value,
technically differentiated and high-quality pipe coating services,”
said Fernando Ulecia, PPG’s Vice President & General Manager -
Western Hemisphere South. “The performance of our coating solutions
on multiple critical projects in the region demonstrated that
Shawcor’s products and execution capabilities are ideal for these
challenging environments.”
Kevin Reizer, Group President of PPG added
“These commitments are a further indication of accelerating
offshore activity, especially in deep-water, which our global
network of coating and insulation facilities is well positioned to
support. With these project awards, PPG now has visibility of
elevated activity levels well into 2024.”
At the beginning of the month, Shawcor also
completed the sale of its Socotherm Americas (“Socotherm”)
subsidiary in Argentina to Patagonia Shale Services (“PSS”). Since
1989 Socotherm Americas has delivered external and internal
anti-corrosion coating and thermal insulation coating to the
Argentine and regional pipeline and oilfield tubular markets from
its base in Escobar, just outside Buenos Aires. Established in
2014, PSS is a privately owned Argentine company providing a
variety of onshore pipeline services including thermal coatings and
liners of pipes from facilities located in the provinces of San
Luis and Neuquén in Argentina. The combination of Socotherm’s
capabilities and reputation with the dynamism of PSS will create an
organization well positioned to serve this unique market.
