Honeywell Offshore - Automation and Safety Solutions for the Offshore Industries

Honeywell is a Fortune 100 company that designs and manufactures product and service solutions to address safety, security, and energy challenges.

Honeywell Process Solutions offers technologies across your entire organisation, from field instruments to business management solutions that improve safety, quality, productivity and sustainability.

With approximately 122,000 employees worldwide, including more than 19,000 engineers and scientists, we have the capability to provide quality and value in everything we deliver.

Automation and safety systems for the offshore industry

Offshore production requires an automation and safety system equipped to handle the topsides and subsea processes. Ancillary marine systems and various protection risk-minimisation systems must be integrated.

Honeywell's Experion® process knowledge system (PKS) is a next-generation control system that drives critical information to the production operations management team. This automation evolution provides operations with a centralised control to handle subsea production operations, topside oil and gas process handling, off-loading operations and safety systems for people, equipment and the environment. This security also extends to zone protection around the outer areas of the production operation.

Efficiency solutions for offshore production

The offshore oil and gas production industry is focused on driving down production costs and increasing reservoir recovery, while minimising environmental impact and complying with emerging regulatory oversight.

There is a fine balance between the natural decline in production of wells, additional well demand, environmental and production capacity constraints and meeting increasing regulatory requirements, like remaining within strict emission levels or new subsea completion requirements.

Honeywell's Experion process knowledge system (PKS) addresses the entire oil and natural gas production process, helping achieve consistent daily production while maximising the nameplate process capabilities. Honeywell does this with advanced process control (APC), the next logical step for improving efficiencies.

In addition, Honeywell Process Solutions has also incorporated the design and operating expertise of UOP, a Honeywell company, in its advanced applications.

Environmental solutions for offshore production

Oil and gas producers, particularly offshore producers, need to comply with a number of current and emerging environmental regulations. Expansions into very deep waters have tested the limitations of exploration and drilling production technologies.

Offshore emissions reporting technology

Honeywell's emissions reporting solutions perform measurement, data acquisition, calculations, record keeping, analysis, notification, reporting and quality assurance from multiple emissions sources to meet compliance demands in a simple, cost-effective, and low-risk manner. Honeywell can help determine the best solution tailored for each production area manager's needs.

Honeywell's energy management solutions can also be applied to lower energy intensity and reduce GHG emissions.

Information management for offshore production

Offshore oil and gas managers need to make sense of the data generated from their production facilities. The ability to see, understand and act on the relationships within critical data is key to creating competitive advantage.

Honeywell's Intuition Executive delivers enterprise-wide information management, decision support and collaboration tools to help achieve operational excellence. Managers and planners have access to comprehensive performance data in real-time to assess and capitalise on opportunities faster and more intelligently. These systems increase visibility to information across the supply chain.

Reliability solutions for offshore asset management

Offshore managers realise that asset management is vital to achieve daily production targets, and need to know how hard they can push the production trains, topsides, and subsea wells without risking the integrity of the reservoir, wells, processing trains and key pieces of equipment. Honeywell's reliability solutions improve availability and reduce downtime through proactive asset management and early risk detection.

Remote collaboration

Industry wide, companies have multiple production facilities that are geographically distant. Honeywell's comprehensive yet modular solution for remote collaboration, optimisation and operation, connects operating sites to a central facility, creating a collaborative environment that becomes the enabler for production improvement. The solution creates true business transformation, enabling users to monitor and manage operational activities in real-time or near real-time, regardless of location.
