Under the contract signed with Statoil in the second quarter of 2013, ABB will provide a new Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for the control system, and control room modifications.
The company will also deliver simulator, fire and gas detectors, and integrate telecommunication in the control room and information management systems (IMS).
Once the upgrade is complete, the Heimdal platform will feature ABB’s modern 800xA Extended Automation platform as the main control system.
The system has been adapted to comply with Statoil’s guidelines for workstations layout and design of process graphic.
As part of the agreement, ABB will have the complete engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) responsibility for the project.
ABB Norway Process Automation division manager Per Erik Holsten said, "We are upgrading parts of the safety and automation system on Heimdal to contribute to profitable and safe operation of the platform."
