It's Christmas year round at the GE Jandakot Oil & Gas facility, a service and training center for the petroleum industry, where testing is done on an oil well component called a Christmas tree. These wellhead control valves sit on the ocean floor for over 25 years and need to be engineered well and expertly tested to be reliable and high quality. The multi-purpose Jandakot center is integral to providing both high skill training and technical education with apprentice opportunities and maintenance to key industry equipment, streamlining the service process and reducing the downtime that results from sending parts overseas.
As the first in country support center and the largest complex of its kind in Australia, this GE facility aims to provide both the skills and products for the resource boom and increase productivity in the industry.
