LIVINGSTON, UK – Elite Control Systems has secured a renewal of a contract to provide process control software and technical support for the Chirag production platform offshore Azerbaijan. 

The contractor has performed this service for nearly 20 years.

Elite can access the platform’s fire and gas control system remotely from its headquarters in Livingston, and claims that as a result the automated control systems operate smoothly, allowing production to continue without interruption.

The company also provides guidance concerning system upgrades and adjustments to the platform to enhance safety and efficiency.
