The groundbreaking all-electric RVC is part of a contract to deliver a couple of robotic operated manifolds to
The RVC is an all-electric robotic component installed on the top of the subsea manifold. Remotely operated by the topsides master control station, it eliminates the need for the hydraulic-multiplex operators and controls. It removes the need for hydraulic actuators and the control fluid to operate the valves and chokes, and reduces the size of the manifold and structure.
As a resident subsea device, it reduces the OPEX associated with ROV manifold operations. In the unlikely event of an operational issue, the RVC is ROV retrievable/replaceable and manifold operation is fully maintained.
The robotic all-electric technology offers more reliable, autonomous and intelligent field operations. It was developed with the objective to reduce the cost of our manifold solutions and resulted in a side effect of substantially lowering the overall carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions to fabricate and deliver these structures.
The RVC components were designed, produced and assembled at
