In recent years, FPSOs and particularly FLNG vessels because of the increased global demand for natural gas have increased in popularity as a way to produce hydrocarbons. Much time and effort have gone into the design of these enormous vessels to maximize their efficiency and production capability.
This presentation will look at how Rockwell Automation and Sensia are partnering to bring a fully digitalized production solution to the next generation of these ships. From integrating the reservoir and sea-bed equipment, through wells and onto the vessel with on-shore operations and dedicated service centers, this new solution has the potential for 10-30% in automation savings as part of a capital project, plus potential increased production of 2-4% with correlated risk reductions in all HSSE areas.
