Abandonment of offshore Production platform

In the North Sea, more and more gas production platforms are shutting down because the wells no longer produce enough gas. If a platform cannot be removed yet, it must be changed to “lighthouse” mode. SEW Energy supplied the design and realization of a new electrical installation for a renowned customer. This installation is suitable for the distribution of hybrid (diesel/wind/solar) generated energy to the remaining systems such as communication, collision protection and active cathodic protection of the steel structure.

Description:

Design and realization of an electrical installation for a hybrid powered offshore location.

Origin/history:

Connection between customer and SEW Energy.

Short project overview:

SEW Energy was asked to make a design for the distribution boards and shunting boards. Later the scope expanded to supply offshore construction materials, services and tools to complete the installation on site.

The project includes:

• Design of the electrical installation in Eplan and AutoCAD
• Purchase and assembly of 4 panels.
• Purchase of all offshore installation materials
• Installation work on site at the customer.
• Customer testing and commissioning assistance.

Project management:

The project is prepared and supervised by the SEW Energy E&I Project Team.
