Invensys awarded second Foxboro process control system project from Petrofac

Aging Provox process control system on production platform in central North Sea to be migrated to a state-of-the-art I/A Series system

Invensys Process Systems has been awarded a project by Petrofac Facilities Management to enable migration of the aging Emerson Fisher Provox system on the Kittiwake production platform in the central North Sea to a new Foxboro I/A Series process control system. This is the second process control project awarded to Invensys by Petrofac in recent years.

The Invensys migration solution chosen offers state-of-the-art functionality that will assist delivery of reliable operations and provide improved access and transferability of management and control information. This well-proven migration solution reduces downtime and has a smaller physical footprint. The Invensys solution is considered a low risk option and more than 450 I/A Series process control system migrations have been successfully completed to date. This includes migrations from Honeywell TDC, Bailey Net and Infi90, Moore APAC, Westinghouse WDPF, Spectrum and Fisher Provox systems. Typically, these migrations have required only a single day (or less) of production shutdown, minimizing the lost production revenues usually associated with system migrations.

For more information on Invensys’ unique “plug-in” DCS migration solution, readers should contact their local Foxboro system representative, visit www.foxboro.com/migration, or call the Invensys Customer Satisfaction Center at 866-746-6477 (508-549-2424 outside the US and Canada).
