J P Kenny - Perth, Australia

Established in 1985, J P Kenny Perth has a long history of project success in Asia Pacific. As the leading pipeline and subsea services provider in the region, we have been heavily involved with the majority of major pipeline systems and subsea systems installed over the last 20 years.

With a team of approximately 300 people we have the resources to deal with any subsea and pipeline project or challenge, from conceptual study through to abandonment. Using the knowledge sharing networks of the J P Kenny Group, we are able to supplement our local expertise with knowledge from other J P Kenny offices such as Houston, London and Aberdeen.

We are committed to supporting our local community and to working constructively with all of our stakeholders. We believe in developing local relationships. For example, as part of on going project activities we have run extensive engineer training schemes in countries such as Indonesia, India, China and Malaysia.

There is no such thing as 'off the shelf' subsea development. Every project is individual and each brings its own distinct challenges to the design process. For the majority of these challenges, conventional engineering approaches are suitable. In some cases however, more innovative thinking is required to develop a cost effective design, particularly at the limits of industry experience, deepwater, very high or low (cryogenic) temperatures, high pressures, in areas of special environmental conditions or where access for survey is difficult.

J P Kenny provides innovation to subsea developments through expertise and experience.

Subsea Innovations for Australia's LNG Developments





In 2011, J P Kenny, along with the other Wood Group Kenny companies, won the Subsea Energy Australia "Subsea Company of the Year" award.

This award was secured against robust and extensive competition from a wide range of local and international Subsea Companies.

This success further demonstrates our collective reputation and capability in the Subsea market place and the esteem in which we are held by our peers, the Offshore Oil and Gas fraternity at large and the competition judges.





J P Kenny Pty has recently been awarded the Woodside Oil and Gas Encouragement award, which is part of the Government of Western Australia 2010 Innovator of the year programme.

The VSAS, is a novel and innovative technique for routing and managing pipelines over very rough and / or very steep seabed terrain. In comparison, using more traditional techniques, this scenario would present a range of technical challenges which invariably would have a significant amount of cost associated with the solution.
