Schlumberger recently celebrated the official opening of the Schlumberger Singapore Artificial Lift Product Center at Benoi Crescent in Jurong.
The September 8th event marked the opening of a near 50% expansion of the facility, which manufactures electric submersible pumping (ESP) systems, both fully assembled units as well as parts for service and repair of ESPs, for the oil and gas industry worldwide.
This expansion project was launched with a groundbreaking ceremony on November 25, 2005. Prior to expansion Schlumberger had two buildings, one for the assembly of ESPs and the other for the manufacture of parts. This plant expansion adds a third building, additional machinery and equipment to increase the production of ESP systems.
The plant currently has a total workforce of 626, of which 85 have been added this year as a result of the plant expansion and increase in production activities. The Schlumberger Singapore Artificial Lift Product Center, registered as Reda Production Systems, first started operations in Singapore in 1970 as a warehouse in a rented facility to sell ESPs and parts to Indonesia.
