Emerson wins subsea instrumentation contract

Emerson Process Management has won a multi-million dollar contact to deliver its Roxar subsea instrumentation to Lundin Petroleum’s Brynhild field in the North Sea.

The contract was awarded by Aker Solutions and covers Roxar subsea multiphase meters, subsea Sencorr pressure and temperature sensors, subsea chemical injection valves, and sand monitors. Aker Solutions will use the instrumentation as part of the rolling out of a complete subsea production system on Brynhild, with Emerson also delivering a number of downhole pressure and temperature gauges directly to Lundin Petroleum.

“This is a landmark agreement for a number of reasons,” said Svenn Haugen, World Area Director Europe & North Africa, Roxar Flow Measurement.

The tieback from Brynhild to the Pierce field’s FPSO platform in the UK sector is a cross-border subsea tie-back where key data for fiscal allocation and production measurement are gathered subsea. Combining the Brynhild and Pierce’s tie-back flow will avoid the need for a dedicated riser for Brynhild.

The Brynhild field is located northwest of the Ula field and 38 km north-north-east of the Pierce field. The water depth is approximately 80 meters.
