Glasgow-based firm to provide nine pumps for North Sea oil platforms.
The Flow Technology segment of SPX Corporation has been awarded two contracts that are together worth around $40 million for ClydeUnion-branded pumps.
These will play a vital role in two offshore oil production platforms being constructed in the North Sea. Under the terms of one contract, SPX will provide six ClydeUnion pumps: two large, high-pressure water injection pumps; two water injection booster pumps and two diluent pumps.

For the second contract SPX will supply three ClydeUnion single high-pressure water injection pumps plus two oil transfer pumps.
High-pressure water injection pumps play a critical role in enabling the successful extraction of oil on most offshore oil platforms.
“These are significant wins for SPX and will serve to further elevate our competitive presence in the global oil and gas industry,” said Tony Renzi, president of ClydeUnion.
Based in Glasgow, Scotland, SPX’s ClydeUnion Pumps business has been manufacturing pumps since 1886.
“For decades, ClydeUnion Pumps have been serving the needs of the global oil and gas industry in various applications in offshore and onshore oil fields as well as refineries and pipelines around the world,” said Renzi.
“As the oil and gas industry continues to evolve we will be applying our pump engineering expertise to produce increasingly more efficient, better performing and more reliable pumps to serve our customers’ needs.”
