Subsea Control Technology Development and Obsolescence from Industry Perspective Course Preview

The increasing world energy demands for enhanced oil and gas recovery in the offshore industry has led to new subsea technology developments with increased system functionality. Technologies such as subsea processing and instrumentations for subsea control data acquisition place a greater demand on bandwidth, power and capacity. Therefore, the legacy controls system becomes obsolete and proves unsustainable in supporting the increased functionality placed on it by the new subsea technologies. With the fast evolution of electronics, the replacement of the core components of the control system when they fail becomes difficult as they are no longer being produced or supported by the original component manufacturers (OCM). This course explores the different strategies in addressing obsolescence on the subsea controls system for offshore field developments.

Obsolescence can be a significant cost driver and impacts equipment at all stages of the whole life of field. The life cycle of parts within major long life products can be significantly shorter than the life of the products they are within. Obsolescence risk when installing and maintaining existing and future Subsea Production Control Systems (SPSs) is therefore of significant concern to the industry as there is an ever increasing demand to extend the operating life of equipment. Whilst the largest risk is with electronics and electro/mechanical items, the requirement is to manage all types of parts used in the design, manufacture and support of SPSs and associated topside equipment.
