Bardex A w a r d e d Contract By Shell U.K. To Supply Rig-Skidding System

Shell U.K. Exploration and Production has contracted with Bardex Corporation, through its London office, for the rig-skidding system on the Shell Tern platform in the North Sea.

The system will consist of a control console and four hydraulic gripper jacks. The console will have the capability of skidding the skidbase in an east-west direction or the derrick module in a north-south direction.

It will use two 400-ton hydraulic piston gripper jack assemblies for the skidbase skidding, and two 275- ton hydraulic piston gripper jack assemblies for the derrick module skidding.

Bardex (formerly Hydrautics Hydraulic Systems) is headquartered in Goleta, Calif., with offices in London and Houston. The company designs and manufactures heavy-loadmoving equipment for offshore- and shipyard-related activities.
