PlantWeb uses a Foundation fieldbus network of intelligent devices and Emerson DeltaV digital systems to provide an operational overview of the Phase III platform, which is monitored by engineers and operators at the main manned complex 10 km away, on the Champion West Drilling Platform - 1 (CWDP-1).
The Phase III platform installation also features remote control and monitoring from the Onshore Control Centre in Brunei.
Emerson Malaysia is responsible for design, engineering, configuration, and commissioning of the PlantWeb digital automation solution.
The contract was awarded in 2004, and the platform was commissioned and started up in December 2005.
The installed PlantWeb architecture included an Emerson DeltaV digital automation system, networked with intelligent field devices using the open standard Foundation fieldbus communications technology.
Emerson supplied smart digital devices including Rosemount pressure, level and temperature transmitters; Micro Motion Coriolis flow meters; and Fisher valves with Fieldvue digital valve controllers.
The Emerson instrumentation and equipment on the Phase III platform interfaced with that of other international vendors using open, standards-based Foundation fieldbus and OPC technology.
The DeltaV system connected to third-party shutdown systems, multiphase meters, and a DCS on another platform.
"Champion West illustrates the exceptional capabilities of Emerson Process Management in the offshore industry," said Mike Train, President of Emerson Process Management Asia Pacific.
