The Project
The oil and gas market is continually facing challenges to reduce cost for both production and intervention subsea control systems.
Solutions from Proeon build on our experience in the support and development of subsea control equipment. and Proeon has developed a range of cost-effective hardware and software solutions for subsea production and intervention equipment.
One of our most recent solutions is a High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS) that takes into considerations the harsh environment and client demands for safety and availability to provide a SIL 2 capable Subsea Control Module (SCM).
The SCM is designed to operate in subsea conditions at a depth of 120m, whilst providing protection of the wellhead flowlines, using API 17F and ISO 13628-6 qualified safety controllers. The design package is specifically tailored to allow installation within the physical limitations of the existing subsea structure.
The SCM houses the Subsea Electronics Module (SEM), hydraulics and diver mateable electrical and hydraulic connectors and is capable of interfacing with the client’s existing installed ageing subsea infrastructure and communications and power systems. The SCM communicates via a surface mounted communications gateway and safety interface which provides connectivity to the platform control and safety systems.
The Challenge
To meet the demands of our clients, and to ensure we meet the quality required we have invested in the enhancement of our production facilities, to offer our clients an expanded range of low-cost high availability equipment for demanding applications.
Recent work has included a contract to complete significant R&D work for provision of a number of Subsea Electronic Modules (SEM) operating at water depths in excess of 3km for intervention tooling. The modules make use of best-in-class COTS equipment with purpose designed hardware and software where equipment is not readily available on the open market.
The project includes Design, Assembly, Hardware Integration Testing, Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) and Qualification activities to meet the API 17F and ISO 13628-6 standards.
In Conclusion
Proeon has built a reputation in providing high quality systems, designed to the highest standards with accredited Quality, Health & Safety, Environmental and Information Security Management Systems.
Where necessary, Proeon can supply drop-in replacement topsides and subsea control equipment that is backwards compatible with legacy OEM systems together with all aspects of procurement, installation, commissioning and field support.
Our skills and experience include a broad range of control and safety systems, coupled with specialist sector knowledge. We can apply this expertise to both our own equipment designs and where necessary to other manufacturer’s equipment.
Proeon provides non-OEM support for a range of legacy Subsea Production and Intervention Control Systems that include:
Subsea Control Module (SCM) / Subsea Electrical Module (SEM)
Master Control Station (MCS)
Electrical Power Unit (EPU)
Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)
Intervention Workover Control System (IWOCS)
All aspects of the work, including electrical, electronic, mechanical, hydraulic and software is undertaken in the UK at our Hethel base.
