Subsea Control Systems
Weatherford specializes in the design, engineering, and fabrication of Subsea Production Control Systems. We work with the tree manufacture to provide complete subsea control system packages, including the umbilical hose reels and termination junction plate assemblies.
Subsea Production Control System
Weatherford is a leading provider of multiplex subsea, surface wellhead, and integrated control systems for enhancing oil and gas production. By acquiring CAC® instruments and Brisco® process control apparatus, Weatherford brings together a wealth of experience and expertise encompassing all possible requirements of production automation and optimization for both onshore and offshore applications.
Weatherford’s electro-hydraulic multiplex subsea control system is a modular design concept incorporating proven technology and qualified components to minimize both CAPEX and OPEX costs.
An integrated system provides the requisite monitoring, control, and shutdown functions with multiplexed electro-hydraulic control, using communications on power between a surface master control station (MCS) and subsea control module (SCM) via a composite services umbilical and appropriate subsea distribution units.
Communications between surface and subsea are with a ‘Lonworks’ power-line carrier. Communications can be adapted to suit communications on power, twisted pair, or fiber optic dependent on configuration.
The system is designed for deployment and intervention with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), assisted guideline and non-guideline running tool, available for rental with ROV assistance in deepwater, featuring a simple sliding plate design locking down mechanism; however a similar module is used for diver installation.
