Premier Oil has awarded Emerson Process Management, a €12.9 million (US$17m) contract to automate a new offshore production platform in the Solan oil field on the British Continental Shelf. Emerson’s technologies and services will enable Premier (operator and 60% owner of the field) to safely and efficiently manage the platform 160 km west of Scotland from an onshore operations centre in Aberdeen.
As the project’s main automation and electrical contractor, Emerson will provide full project services including project management, detailed design, configuration, acceptance testing, commissioning, and start-up support, all as part of a complete solution.
"We are delighted that Premier recognises the value of our complete automation solutions for offshore operations," said Steve Sonnenberg, president of Emerson Process Management. "Our industry specialists look forward to helping Premier turn their vision of a remotely operated platform into a safe, efficient, and profitable reality."
The integrated solution will use Emerson’s PlantWeb™ digital plant architecture, including its DeltaV™ digital automation system, DeltaV SIS™ process safety system, CSI 6500 Machinery Health™ Monitor, and AMS Suite predictive maintenance software. Other elements will include Emerson’s Rosemount® pressure, temperature, radar level, and vortex flow transmitters; Micro Motion® Coriolis flowmeters; and Roxar™ sand monitors and multiphase flowmeters.
Emerson will also provide electrical switchgear, uninterruptible power supplies, and satellite telecommunication equipment, as well as an operator training solution that simulates real-world situations to prepare operations personnel for incident management.
