Subsea production control and communication
03 June 2009
Simplify and subsea are two terms that generally do not go together. Conventional wisdom would tell us that if you are going to operate and monitor subsea wells, you can expect long lead times, expensive processes and very complex communication systems.
A production system from Weatherford International has simplified subsea operations by providing open systems for control, communications and data management. By making them open, operators are able to easily combine incompatible systems, increase options in expanding subsea fields and retrofit a large variety of designs into existing operations. Using open standards allows remote support and connectivity to any subsea installation worldwide where internet connectivity is available. This helps reduce downtime in production when support is required. Connection can be made using any standard web browser.
The system is ideal for upgrade of applications where data transmission requirements are increasing such as smart wells, video, riser or vibration monitoring, 4D seismic and multiphase measurements.
