Integrated Control and Safety System for an offshore barge facility
Olero Creek is a swamp that is located in the Delta State which is about 200 kilometers northwest of Port Harcourt. Olero Creek has a flow stations system which is operated by the customer that consists of four barge-mounted processing modules which separate oil and gas from the well. They separately deliver oil and gas and re-inject water to the well. The facilities, designed as offshore installations, comprised of multiple barges installed in a river delta. During the refurbishment of the barge, INTECH was called in for:
- Engineering, Design and Supply of Process Control System (PCS)
- Engineering, Design and Supply of Safety Integrated System (SIS)
- Integration of PCS and SIS across 6 platforms and data integration with third party skid based control system packages
- Documentation – FAT &SAT procedures
