Emerson (EMR) has completed its multi-year, USD 90M (GBP 64M) automation project for BP’s Glen Lyon floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel west of Shetland.
Emerson is now providing ongoing operational support services to help BP achieve its goal of producing 200,000 barrels a day from the North Sea by 2020.
Emerson has served as the main automation contractor (MAC) for the Glen Lyon, which is expected to produce 130,000 barrels of oil a day at plateau.
As part of an additional five-year contract, Emerson will provide ongoing operational support services, remote monitoring and predictive maintenance technologies for the Glen Lyon and BP’s other North Sea mega project Clair Ridge, which is due to come on stream this year.
Emerson’s lifecycle services will help BP ensure ongoing safety, improve reliability, maximize availability and reduce operating costs.
BP uses Emerson’s automation technologies including the DeltaV™ and DeltaV SIS integrated control and safety systems to help optimize production and yield, avoid environmental impact and operate safely.
BP also uses Emerson’s high-fidelity dynamic simulator to train its operators and engineers in real-world scenarios before system changes go live.
