蓝海能源将收购海埃玛管道技术公司

据路透社5月23日消息称，总部位于伦敦的私人控股公司蓝海能源公司以未披露的金额从海埃玛离岸承包公司（HMC）手中收购了管道技术公司(PTL)，该公司是一家为能源行业提供高端管道焊接、现场补口和管道基础服务的公司。

PTL总部位于英国亨特利，并在美国、中东、巴西和东南亚设有额外的工作地点。自自1998年成立以来，PTL一直致力于为海上和陆上建设项目提供具有技术挑战性的解决方案，从超深水、超厚壁厚到易疲劳的管道等。

该公司已与能源行业的领先企业和建筑集团建立了合作关系，为阿波马托克斯(墨西哥湾)、卡昂博(安哥拉)和哈赞(阿曼)等重大项目提供焊接和涂层服务。

蓝海能源董事总经理Martin Somerville表示：“我们对PTL的投资感到兴奋。该公司在具有技术挑战性的管道焊接市场拥有非常强大的声誉和业绩记录，我们承诺投入大量资金支持未来的增长。”

PTL首席执行官Patrick Boerkamp表示：“自2008年以来，HMC一直是PTL的良好所有者，并支持我们建立令人印象深刻的业绩记录，开发针对离岸和在岸市场的新技术和服务。”

“我们现在期待着公司作为一个独立的焊接和现场联合涂层服务提供商蓬勃发展，充分利用现有的重大市场机遇。”

管道技术公司是蓝海能源基金II的第七笔投资。其他公司包括总部位于阿伯丁的水下机器人公司ROVOP以及总部位于奥斯陆的NCS勘探公司Mime石油公司。

Blue Water Energy acquires Pipeline Technique Limited

London-based private equity firm Blue Water Energy has acquired Pipeline Technique Limited (PTL), a provider of high-end pipeline welding, field joint coating and spoolbase services to the energy industry, from Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) for an undisclosed sum.

PTL is headquartered in Huntly, UK, with additional worksites in the US, Middle East, Brazil and South East Asia. Since it was founded in 1998, PTL has built a track record in the delivery of technically challenging solutions for offshore and onshore construction projects, ranging from ultra-deepwater and ultra-heavy wall thickness to fatigue-sensitive pipelines.

The company has established relationships with the energy industry’s leading players and construction groups, having performed welding and coating services on major projects such as Appomattox (Gulf of Mexico), Kaombo (Angola) and Khazzan (Oman).

Martin Somerville, Managing Director of Blue Water Energy, said: “We are excited by the investment into PTL. The company has a very strong reputation and track record in the technically-challenging pipeline welding market and we have committed significant capital to support future growth.”

Patrick Boerkamp, CEO of PTL, said: “HMC has been a good owner of PTL since 2008 and supported us to build an impressive track record and develop new technologies and services tailored to offshore and onshore markets.

“We now look forward to the company flourishing as an independent welding and field joint coating service provider, capitalising on the significant market opportunity that exists.”

Pipeline Technique is the seventh investment in Blue Water Energy’s Fund II. Other companies include Aberdeen-based ROVOP, the subsea robotics company, and Mime Petroleum, the Oslo-based NCS explorer.
