EnerMech delivered a fully integrated shutdown solution for the FPF-1 floating production facility in the Greater Stella Area of the Central North Sea. Petrofac required a partner capable of managing multiple scopes across onshore and offshore phases while maintaining 24-hour operations and optimising POB.

Our multi-discipline team provided services including PSV spares engineering, valve repairs, flushing, leak testing, bolt torquing, and on-site machining. Early engagement in planning allowed for seamless coordination, rapid response, and efficient resource deployment. The shutdown was completed safely, on time, and with reduced vendor complexity—reinforcing EnerMech’s role as a trusted shutdown partner in the North Sea.
