“ABB has the oil and gas industry expertise, project execution resources and leading automation and power technologies that ensure efficient and reliable operations, no matter where they are located,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “This compliments our successful history of delivering complex deep sea and offshore projects, and our long standing relationship with Statoil.”
The scope of supply for the project includes two compressor drive systems, each consisting of one 50 megawatt/66 kilovolt high-voltage motor, which will be used to boost the gas pipeline flow. ABB will also deliver two high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission systems, including HVDC converters and subsea direct current cables to provide reliable power to the offshore equipment from the shore.
