Emerson subsea instrumentation for Norway-UK tie-back

London – Aker Solutions has awarded Emerson a multi-million dollar contact to deliver its Roxar subsea instrumentation to Lundin Petroleum’s Brynhild field in the North Sea.

The contract covers Roxar subsea multiphase meters, subsea Sencorr pressure and temperature sensors, subsea chemical injection valves, and sand monitors.

Aker Solutions will use the instrumentation as part of the rolling out of a complete subsea production system on Brynhild, with Emerson also delivering a number of downhole pressure and temperature gauges directly to Lundin Petroleum.

The tie-back from Brynhild to the Pierce field’s FPSO platform in the UK sector is a cross-border subsea tie-back where key data for fiscal allocation and production measurement are gathered subsea. Combining the Brynhild and Pierce’s tie-back flow will avoid the need for a dedicated riser for Brynhild.

The instrumentation, said Emerson, will be used to generate accurate measurement and input to fiscal allocation from the different flow streams.
