“Our long history in improving oil and gas operations and our successful working relationship with BP Norway were key factors to win this important agreement,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “ABB offers the technology, services, and industry expertise to help oil and gas customers extend the productive lifespan of their established oil field investments, as well as optimizing the productivity of new resources.”
ABB will provide system expertise for the safety and automation systems installed at BP’s main field operations in Norway, Valhall and Ula, as well as remotely operated Hod and Tambar. Telecommunications systems at Skarv will also be covered by the agreement.
Optimized performance of safety and automation systems will extend the productive life of oil and gas fields, by increasing their production volumes, lowering operating costs, as well as ensuring process, personnel and environmental safety. ABB will also provide simulation technology to increase overall safety and that will be used for staff training and testing of new functionality.
