Abb to power subsea gas and oil field within the deep norwegian ocean
Aker Solutions and it is client Statoil select ABB to secure reliable power towards the world’s first subsea compressor at record-breaking 43 kilometers in the floating production facility
Zurich, Europe, – ABB, the key power and automation technology group, has won a purchase worth about $36 million from oil services company Aker Methods to provide drives and transformers for their subsea power distribution system for that Asgard subsea gas and oil field run by Norway’s Statoil. An order was booked within the third quarter.
ABB’s equipment will make sure reliable power, in addition to enhanced motor speed and control, for that world’s first subsea gas compression system from onboard the Asgard A floating vessel from the northern coast of Norwegian. The electrical system can transmit 15 megavolt-amperes and 189 hertz, enough to control of 10,000 homes, more than a distance of 43 kilometers. Once completed, this is a global record distance along with the greatest current and frequency achieved from a drive on the floating production facility along with a compressor around the seabed.
"The space and current dependence on this operation turn it into a milestone task for the gas and oil industry," stated Veli-Matti Reinikkala, mind of ABB’s Process Automation division. "ABB is constantly on the develop its experience because the world leader in subsea electrification our technology, project experience and engineering sources were essential to winning this important order."
ABB drives and subsea transformer lead to increase the productivity, profitability and lifespan of existing offshore gas and oil fields. As extraction will get farther away from processing operations, the opportunity to provide reliable power gets to be more challenging.
ABB has labored with Aker Solutions on the similar project, to power a subsea water injection system in Statoil’s Tyrihans field, 31 km in the surface operating platform.
ABB (www.abb.com) is really a leader in power and automation technologies which allow utility and industry people to improve performance while lowering ecological impact. The ABB Number of companies are operating in around 100 countries and employs about 130,000 people.

ivydude13: Wow, all the education right at our fingertips. All it takes is curious mind to find it.
ivydude13: +ㅤㅤ Very true, very true indeed.
ㅤ ㅤ: +ivydude13 Nice RC car mate, don't let people tell you they're a waste of time either. Check out any ROV company (heavy workclass) and I think you'll see you'l fit right in :)\nMaybe one day we'll work together, I can only hope, the world needs more curious minds.

JZZY WLLMS: Arrived here after watching the film "Deepwater Horizon' and wanted to get a better understanding of the mechanics involved in this man made disaster. Very informative video, but it does beg the question, why would we want to reach the earths mantle?
Kumar Krishna: me too
sk sattar: to get the hydrocarbons which are deposited either in gas or in liquid
Peter Voss: Amazing how any torque can be transferred to cut through rock at such distances. Fascinating technology.
