ICON Engineering Pty Ltd is moving office in August 2021 to allow for further expansion. Business activity has been increasing despite Covid-19 and we have been a bit squashed in our West Perth premises.

We have decided to move to larger offices closer to some of our clients into the hustle and bustle of the Perth Central Business District.  

The new office provides great facilities for staff, with pool, tennis courts, gym, and closer commute connections, and of course more room to brainstorm solutions to our Clients’ most challenging problems.

From August 9th 2021 our new address will be Level 16, The Forrest Centre, 221 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000.

ICON was engaged by Noble Drilling to assist in the conceptual development, detailed design, fabrication, installation and commissioning of a 300Te capacity tension deck for the newly built Noble Tom Prosser jack-up rig. 

The entire project from development of concept through to installation and commissioning was undertaken in 12 weeks. This included the fabrication and testing of a 300Te tension unit and a range of ICON's gripper clamps.

LNG operator INPEX Australia has emerged globally with best risk management practices while carrying out recent well completions and flowbacks for the Ichthys project, in the Browse Basin, offshore Western Australia.

Scott Warren, project manager at ICON Engineering, was recently awarded a safety award by INPEX for his work onboard the ENSCO 5006 drilling rig during the well completions stage on the Ichthys LNG project.

Perth-based ICON Engineering has just chalked up another order of its conductor tensioner units (CTU) into the Gulf of Mexico’s (GoM) offshore oilfields, saying its well valued products are avoiding the drastic cost cuts in the drilling sector.

Now that the dust has settled from the recent LNG18 conference held in Perth, ICON Engineering can report that Managing Director David Field and GM Equipment Steve Plain spent some quality time discussing matters of compensation with Foreign Minister Julie Bishop - heave compensation, to be precise.

ICON Engineering has completed the successful offshore trial rig up of its latest Heave Compensated Tension Lift Frame (CTLF), which can be run as the primary compensator, or as back-up to the rig's drill string compensator to safeguard against unintentional lock-up.

This innovative design suits coiled tubing and wireline intervention operations where heave compensation is required, notably deepwater drilling and completions activities. The CTLF can be run as the primary compensator, or as back-up to the rig's drill string compensator to safeguard against unintentional lock-up.

It was installed on a semisubmersible drilling rig and is currently in operation on a Western Australian project.

ICON Engineering has announced the launch of the Advanced Riser Tension Protector (ARTP) Equipment Range, representing a significant advance in coiled tubing lift frames (CTLFs) for subsea well completions, well testing and well interventions.

TOPIC S.A. of Tunisia engaged ICON Engineering to assist in the development of the Halk el Menzel (HelM) field located in the Gulf of Hammamet.

ICON's facility in Henderson includes a purpose built 40m testing tower, which was constructed as a unique onshore test facility, and 1000m2 of warehouse facilities serviced by a gantry crane.

ICON is globally recognised as innovators in Drive Pipe Conductor Tensioner design and its Conductor clamps are now installed on the 20% of the jack-ups currently in service worldwide.

The expansion of ICON's subsea division continues with the detailed design of a mid-water arch and gravity base structure, to be installed in the Browse Basin offshore Western Australia.

In March this year, ICON transported 100 tonnes of specialist drilling equipment from Europe to Australia in less than 48 hours door-to-door, including ground freight and customs clearance both ends.
