The agreement will help Statoil in using technologies for solving the energy needs of the future, including making the most of emerging opportunities in shale gas, heavy oil, and deep-water production, as well as further development of the Norwegian Continental Shelf, according to the company.
Emerson’s integrated safety and automation system, which includes its DeltaV digital automation system and DeltaV SIS process safety system, will help Statoil maximize production while reducing operating costs and minimizing safety and environmental risks.
Statoil and Emerson recently collaborated to apply Emerson’s Smart Wireless technology on two offshore platforms.
The five-year frame agreement covers process safety and automation systems, including engineering services, for new capital projects as well as upgrades to existing facilities, and includes the option to renew for two additional two-year terms.
