Electrification of subsea and subsurface control equipment enables new field architectures and levels of production control and monitoring that can deliver reduced carbon intensity of oil and gas production from field development to operations.
The precise control of multi-zone All Electric completions can reduce the number of wells required at concept phase while delivering better reservoir management for lower sand and water cut. Electric control of subsea valves reduces umbilical cross sections while improving responsiveness of safety functions. Tiebacks can more easily utilise sustainable power sources that may be local to the field, or can be connected over longer distances to enable subsea-to-shore connection and reduce impact to topside facilities. Throughout operations, instant access to asset performance information through Subsea Live remote monitoring software reduces the need for offshore trips and interventions through improved forward planning.
This presentation will highlight the benefits of electrification for energy transition and show case real All Electric equipment that can deliver these benefits to operators today.
