Emerson Completes Major Multi-Million-Dollar Project for BP North Sea

New automation technologies and ongoing support enable BP to
target production growth and safe and reliable operations

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a global technology and engineering company, has
completed its multi-year, $90 million (£64 million) automation project
for BP’s Glen Lyon floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO)
vessel west of Shetland.

Emerson is now providing ongoing operational support services to help BP
achieve its goal of producing 200,000 barrels a day from the North Sea
by 2020.

Emerson has served as the main automation contractor (MAC) for the Glen
Lyon, which is expected to produce 130,000 barrels of oil a day at
plateau.

Its construction and commissioning was central to BP’s
multi-billion-dollar Quad 204 project, which involved the redevelopment
of the Schiehallion and Loyal fields to target 450 million barrels of
oil and allow production from the hub to be extended to at least 2035.

As part of an additional five-year contract, Emerson will provide
ongoing operational support services, remote monitoring and predictive
maintenance technologies for the Glen Lyon and BP’s other North Sea mega
project Clair Ridge, which is due to come on stream this year.

Emerson’s lifecycle services will help BP ensure ongoing safety, improve
reliability, maximize availability and reduce operating costs.

“By leveraging our project certainty model through expert partnering, we
collaborated to achieve a truly world-class mega project that will help
BP remain a North Sea energy leader,” said Mike Train, Emerson
Automation Solutions executive president. “With first oil from the Glen
Lyon accomplished, our focus now turns to helping BP achieve operational
certainty, with maximum asset reliability and uptime, reduced risk of
safety incidents and optimized production.”

BP uses Emerson’s automation technologies including the DeltaV™ and
DeltaV SIS integrated control and safety systems to help optimize
production and yield, avoid environmental impact and operate safely.

BP also uses Emerson’s high-fidelity dynamic simulator to train its
operators and engineers in real-world scenarios before system changes go
live.

In addition, BP has selected Emerson to manage its fiscal metering
systems on all North Sea assets, which is essential for fiscal
accounting, custody transfer and taxation purposes.

Emerson metering consultants, engineers and specialist metering experts
will validate and report measurement data, sampling, analytical and test
equipment, as well as plan and carry out offshore metering maintenance
and verification activities. In addition, Emerson will provide
comprehensive auditing services for BP’s North Sea pipeline operations.
