Oil as well as gas production process is an expensive venture. Earning revenue, while quickly producing the fossil products is also another challenge experienced. However, the long and costly process is a result of manual works involved in production activities. Therefore, business-people in the oil sector can rejoice after the innovative solution was achieved in the Norwegian Sea. The discovery comes after a long period of suffering and researching for digital solutions in vain. Inline, with the created idea, the inventor ABB is anticipated to deliver the fast startup during operation commencement of Aasta Hansteen of Equinor gas field. The quick processes are confirmed through the forty days saved in commission stage or an equivalent of 2700 hours of human labor through the use of the new 800xA stimulator system important in identification and more other 57 areas of the initial process.
The gas field where the technology will get delivered is in the Norwegian Sea, 1300M of water located in the Voring site, which is 300KM from the mainland. The Aasta Hansteen field was discovered in the year 1997. Besides, the main gas points are the other three discoveries. Luva, Snefrid south and the Haklang are the separate fields with recoverable investments estimated at 51 billion barrels of gas. Spar FPSO platform is the developer of Aasta gas field as the largest one worldwide as well as first in Norwegian inland shelf. The spar turns out as a simple vertical cylinder casing fixed to the seabed. Challenging weather, water depth, the long distance from land as well as established infrastructure are some of the problems faced in oil or gas production in Aasta fields.
Nonetheless, the ABB system becomes a resolution to the incidence of unintentional cessations. Besides, the 800xA stimulator helps to improve safety through minimized risks, increase production and energy saving. The system provides solutions in size, functionality as well as controlling of system connections. Moreover, the system is available in 3 different editions. The types include professional, basic and the premium. Making the initial procedure quick and efficient was a priority in production. ABB was able to reduce the over 1000 series to a few where buttons are used.
Thus, the process conducted by ABB led to a dynamic exemplary that could get used in a computer-generated environment. Through the virtual conditions, it becomes easy to understand when anything is not working as supposed. Therefore, you can begin scenario training to check the faults and whether shutdown occurrences are expected. Besides, the senior vice president of ABB adds that the success of the first automated technique can become an opener to other industrial objectives.
