STARK ENERGY and HOERBIGER Delivers Ghana's First Ever FPSO Compressor Valve Refurbishment

Stark Energy Limited (SEL) is pleased to announce the successful completion of a compressor valve refurbishment project for a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) client in West Africa undertaken at the Stark allocated workspace within the Mantrac Component Rebuild Center (CRC) in Takoradi.

The scope of work involved inspection, repair, precision lapping, refurbishment, reassembly, and testing of critical compressor valves and packing box components. All activities were executed in strict accordance with OEM specifications to ensure optimal valve performance, reliability, and operational integrity.

This project marks a major milestone for Ghana’s oil and gas industry, as it represents the first-ever compressor valve refurbishment undertaken locally in Ghana through the STARK–HOERBIGER partnership. Delivering this scope locally demonstrates the country’s growing technical capability to support specialized rotating equipment maintenance while significantly reducing overseas repair logistics and turnaround time.

Following the successful completion of refurbishment and testing, the valves were safely packaged and delivered to the FPSO client’s designated logistics base, marking the successful completion of the project scope.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Mantrac Ghana for their exceptional support, collaboration, and provision of a world-class facility that enabled the seamless delivery of this critical scope of work. The Component Rebuild Center (CRC’s) advanced infrastructure, safety standards, and technical environment played a significant role in ensuring the project’s success.

This collaboration with Mantrac Ghana stands as a testament to what local partnerships can achieve when capacity, innovation, and shared purpose converge.

We also extend our appreciation to the dedicated team of Stark Energy and Hoerbiger engineers whose collaboration, technical expertise, and professionalism made this milestone possible. Finally, we express our gratitude to our FPSO client for the opportunity to execute this landmark project.

This achievement reinforces Stark Energy’s commitment to local content development, technical excellence, and strengthening Ghana’s oil and gas service capabilities. Safety, Reliability, and Innovation. That’s the SEL Way.
