Fedoz Nigeria, headquartered in Port Harcourt, serves both onshore and offshore oil & gas industries across West Africa and beyond.
This initial order involves replacing an aging API 610 Girdlestone 980 raw water pump, originally installed in 1996 at the Bonney River Terminal, which has now reached the end of its operational life. The replacement pump from Amarinth needed to seamlessly integrate with the existing infrastructure, ensuring that operations could continue without interruption. The new pump had to match the footprint of the old unit, align with existing pipework, connect to the drain valve, and deliver the same performance.
Amarinth has established itself as the go-to provider for high-quality spares and replacement pumps for the now-obsolete Girdlestone line. By retaining many of the original Girdlestone engineers within the company, Amarinth ensures that operators can extend the life of their pumps and replace them cost-effectively with minimal downtime when necessary.
The new pump, equipped with a Plan 11 seal support system and operating spares, is designed to deliver reliable service for decades to come. It will be supplied within an aggressive 30-week delivery schedule.
Oliver Brigginshaw, Managing Director of Amarinth, commented, “We are delighted to secure this first order from Fedoz Nigeria, which underscores our strategic investment in Africa. The continent is home to five of the world’s top 30 oil-producing nations, with Nigeria being the tenth most petroleum-rich country globally. Girdlestone pumps were widely used across the oil & gas industry, and we look forward to replacing these with our interchangeable range as they reach the end of their economic life.”
