Floating production, storage and offloading vessels (FPSO) have become common around the world’s small and/or remote oilfields, providing a means of extracting oil from these fields when a pipeline to shore would not be viable for economic or technical reasons.
Further afield, Yokogawa has announced the conclusion of a Frame agreement with BP Exploration (Angola) for its Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Programme in Angola. Under the terms of the agreement, Yokogawa will provide equipment supply, project management, engineering, operation and maintenance services for an integrated control and safety system (ICSS).
Specific products to be supplied for this ICSS include the CENTUMVP integrated production control system, ProSafe RS safety instrumented system, Exaquantum integrated information system, and OmegaLand operator training system.
The ICSS will provide fully integrated and seamless control and safety functions for the sub-sea, marine, hull, and topside facilities of FPSO vessels along with a single interface allowing operators to start, control, and monitor all facilities from a central control room.
Foundation Fieldbus technology will be used to enable highly advanced diagnostics. BP Angola is currently considering the development of up to four additional offshore oil fields. “Yokogawa is extremely honoured to be the main automation contractor for this major programme,” said Teruyoshi Minaki, director and executive vice president of the international business headquarters. “We are looking to develop and strengthen our long-term performance-based relationship with BP.”
