Emerson Process Management has secured a $23 million contract from BP to provide integrated control and safety systems for two new bridge-linked platforms for the Clair Ridge project.
Clair Ridge is placed in the North Sea to the west of the Shetland Islands, U.K.
BP is developing the site along with collaborators ConocoPhillips, Chevron and Shell.
In addition to offering automation technology, Emerson will render service as the project\'s main automation contractor (MAC) under its global agreement with BP. As MAC, Emerson will implement front-end engineering and design (FEED) for the combined control and safety system, as well as other services that include automation engineering, installation, acceptance testing, commissioning, configuration, and start-up support.
Steve Sonnenberg, president of Emerson Process Managementstated : \"BP and Emerson share the same ideals of using the latest technologies to improve performance and enhance safety. We are delighted that BP recognizes the value that our automation technology, our experience in managing offshore projects, and our local support capabilities can add to this project.\"
