2014-03-10 + + + ABB, the leading power and automation technology
group, has won three orders worth $60 million for internal and external
telecommunication systems for three Statoil projects on the Norwegian
Continental Shelf. The orders were booked in the fourth quarter of 2013
and in the first quarter of 2014.
The three contracts are signed
with leading shipyards in South Korea. ABB will be a system integrator of
telecommunications on the offshore installations built for the Aasta
Hansteen and Gina Krog fields in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea and
for the Mariner field in the British sector. ABB has more than 30 years of
experience in telecommunication deliveries to the global oil and gas
industry and will complete these system deliveries by 2015.
Mariner
and Gina Krog are fixed, steel jacket platforms, where the topside module
will be constructed at the Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering
(DSME) yard. Aasta Hansteen is a single cylinder Spar platform, the first
of its kind destined for the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The topside
module will be constructed at Hyundai Heavy Industries.
“Reliable
telecommunications are crucial for safe and efficient operations of oil
and gas facilities,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process
Automation division. “We have a balanced portfolio of telecommunications
solutions for onshore and offshore installations, with current projects in
Europe, North-America, Asia and the Middle East, which emphasize the
competitiveness of our technology. With these contracts ABB is
strengthening its position as the leading supplier of telecommunication
systems to the global oil and gas industry.”
Telecommunication
systems are normally comprised of components such as computer networks,
surveillance equipment, radio systems, meteorological services, radar
systems, aeronautical navigation and a wide range of communication-based
safety systems. ABB have integrated products and systems to provide a
complete telecommunications solution tailored to Statoil's requirements
concerning design and documentation.
