Producing oil and gas from reservoirs located at long distances from land is a costly proposition that presents many challenges to offshore operators. Subsea installations situated far from shore or remote platforms can be a very cost-efficient solution as it may eliminate the need for a fixed or floating topside installation. To help operators achieve efficient electric power supply and control at long step-out distances, ABB offers total subsea power solutions with highly developed electrical products and associated services tailored for subsea production applications.
