Once the generator malfunctioned, it
fired one of the engine pistons straight
through the engine block causing
damage beyond repair. At this point,
Shamrock had to rebuild and overhaul
a new engine from the ground up.

However, due to the way the platform

from our I&E Services department

fifteen instrumentation and electrical
technicians, was tasked with installing
all electronics for the Murphy Manka
facility 6th Well Site.
The I&E department was tasked with
installing the safety systems, all lighting,
a tank farm, and solar powered battery
banks. Additionally, our team designed
and assembled the pneumatic panels
and the control systems for the facility.

SHAMROCK PURCHASES PROPERTY
KELI DANTIN – BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Shamrock Energy Solutions is pleased
to announce the purchase of a track of
land located on Hwy 90 in New Iberia,
LA. The company plans to begin
construction on a new office building
in this location in early 2014.
Shamrock currently has a presence
in the Lafayette region through lease
agreements in the Petroleum Towers
in Lafayette and an office / warehouse
in Broussard, LA. The new property
will allow Shamrock to accommodate
for future growth that the company
plans to experience in this region.
Plans for the new building include
80 private offices, several conference
rooms and a warehouse large enough
to handle maintenance projects for
extremely large compressor and
generator packages.
Owner and President, Jeff Trahan,
believes in the expected growth of
the south-central region in Louisiana.
“We are spread out amongst several
areas in the Lafayette region. With
the future growth that’s predicted
for this area, it just made sense to
combine our assets into one space,”
- Jeff Trahan.

This year Shamrock adopted three
families through the Catholic Charities

season. Through the generosity of our
employees we were able to provide
clothes, bikes, dolls, and electronic
games for six children of the three
families that we adopted.
This past November, 14 members
from Shamrock decided to stop
shaving and support the Movember
movement and its goal of increasing
awareness of men’s health by
participating in the Energy Challenge.
The left over money was used to
provide Rouses gift cards so each
family could have a warm Christmas
dinner. Thank you to all who helped
support these families in their time
of need during the holiday season.
If you would like to learn more about
the Catholic Charities organization

collectively with other oil, gas, and
electric companies from around the
country raised a total of $124,027.

men’s health and reverse this way of
thinking by putting a fun twist on this
serious issue.

SAFETY CORNER
RECENT SAFETY ALERTS
CRAIG ROBICHAUX – HSE MANAGER
ANNUAL FLU SHOTS
JESSICA STEGALL – BENEFITS ADMINISTRATOR
Danny Jackson, an Automation
Technician, gets a seasonal flu shot
as Shamrock hosted free flu shot
events at the Houma, Cajun Road,
and Broussard offices in October.
Over the last few months we
received several safety alerts and
wanted to share the information
we obtained so you can remember
to follow proper protocol.
The first involved an operator
finding a TSE plug being used
versus the proper tubing cap.
The problem that can result from
using the wrong tubing caps is
that the lead center can potentially
become a flying projectile. The
one that was discovered was
pushed out a quarter inch but
luckily it was found and the issue
was fixed before someone was
hurt. Due to this potential work

hazard please check all capped
off tubing fittings to insure proper
caps are in place.
The second alert was an infection
known as Cellulitis, a skin infection,
which is caused from bacteria build
up. In this case, the bacteria came
from storing dirty gloves in hard
hats. The bacteria built up from
the gloves can get into pores or
abrasions once the hard hat is worn
allowing the infection to spread.
Please avoid storing anything in
your hard hat and replace PPE
when necessary.

DAVID SHORT – I&E OPERATION MANAGER
Our leading HVAC technicians
have combined over twenty years
of experience and have already
developed commercial training
HVAC test to instruct and evaluate
potential technicians to be hired.
An HVAC system is likely to be the
largest and most expensive appliance
on your facility. If properly maintained,
the life of your equipment along
with the systems efficiency will be
prolonged.
Shamrock’s HVAC techs will offer
regular maintenance on all customer
systems which include fall and spring
maintenance inspections. These
inspections include repairs, cleaning,
new installs, calibrations, etc.
Once this new service is up and
running we look forward to the
many opportunities this will give
Shamrock to offer HVAC services
in the field.

package for the new generator and
engine. Once this new generator was
completed and tested it was ready to
be sent out to the platform for install.
However, the replacement generator
was far too heavy to be lifted by the
on board crane.
The recently rebuilt generator had
to be completely disassembled and
loaded onto the platform in several
pieces. Once this setback was over,
several members of the Generation
and Mechanical team reassembled
the new generator on the platform
deck and it was finally able to
be installed.
