The company said its equipment will ensure reliable power, as well as optimized motor speed and control, for the subsea gas compression system from onboard the Asgard A floating vessel off Norway.

The electrical system will transmit 15 megavolt-amperes and 189 hertz, enough to power over 10,000 homes, over a distance of 43km.

ABB claims that its drives and subsea transformer contribute to extend the productivity, profitability and lifespan of existing offshore oil and gas fields.
