DMTI Unveils New Business Unit

Delta Marine Technology, Inc. (DMTI) has opened a new business unit, Construction Division. Previously known for its work in offshore environments, DMTI has begun constructing oil & gas gathering pipelines using a combination of prudent engineering, extensive construction backgrounds, and innovative techniques. DMTI has been awarded a construction contract with Ballard Natural Gas, Inc. to install more than 15,500 feet of 4" pipe to tie its De Zavalla #1 well to a 12" gas transmission pipeline owned and operated by Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline, LLC. This new pipeline right-of-way (ROW) will lie entirely within a heavily populated and industrialized region of Channelview, Texas. Construction will involve both trenching and directional drilling (HDD) depending conditions encountered along the ROW.

Work began on July 12th and it is anticipated that the project will be completed in three weeks using the approach being employed by DMTI. This target represents a 50% reduction in Ballard's construction schedule and easily achievable if no delays are due to unforeseen weather conditions occur. The net result will be that the well will begin producing income for its owners much sooner than expected. In addition to the construction, the project includes the design and installation of a cathodic protection system along with complete pigging, hydro-testing, and drying until the pipeline meets a -20 F Criteria prior to commissioning the system.

DMTI's Onshore Construction Division will be actively gearing up to be able to handle some of the similar needs for other companies. This business unit will be based out of DMTI's offices in Montgomery, Texas.

DMTI to Offer More Technical Support with New Integrity Management Division

- DMTI to Offer More Technical Support with New Integrity Management Division

Thursday, May 26, 2011
Delta Marine Technologies Inc.

Delta Marine Technologies (DMTI) has entered a new marketplace adding more technical support to the Oil & Gas Industry with its newly formed Integrity Management Division.

DMTI acquired the services of Mr. Les Colter to head-up its newly formed Integrity Management Division located in its corporate offices in Montgomery, TX.

Mr. Colter has more than thirty-five (35) years of hands-on experience examining and solving structure problems. Mr. Colter holds both a B.S. and a M.S. in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Texas at El Paso. He also has been a member of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) for more than twenty-five (25) years. Combining extensive field experience, strong practical or common sense, and a good academic background gave credence to his assignment as Director of Integrity Management in April, 2011.

In the coming months, DMTI will be completing the necessary equipment purchases and hiring staff, which will be trained and certified to meet current challenges being thrust upon facilities and pipeline operators in the United States. And, if the trend follows previous patterns, DMTI will be solving the same issues worldwide. The move from a "reactive" operator to a "proactive" operator is necessary to meet the proper risk management philosophy in which systems are required to have addressed all possible threats to the structure’s integrity, whether they be above grade facilities, buried or subsea pipelines.
