Emerson Deepwater Offshore Solutions Proven Fisher® technology to mitigate risks and meet production targets
| Offshore Solutions “Unplanned maintenance or shutdowns put my personnel and process at risk. High operating costs and declining production prevent me from reaching the target return on our production assets.” As offshore exploration activities continue to increase and drilling deepens, the risks to your assets compound. If your equipment isn’t running at its best in remote and extreme environments, you put your personnel at risk.

| Offshore Solutions MAXIMIZE PRODUCTION A lot goes into the sizing and selection of a control valve. A procedure based on sound engineering principles, coupled with real-world knowledge of your process, helps determine the valve selections that are most appropriate for your production requirements. Total comprehension of this procedure, your process, and the engineered specifications of your applications are critical to helping you reach your production targets.
Offshore Solutions | 5 Combat Corrosion, Mitigate Erosion, and Increase Recovery Water injection systems can be one of the most difficult applications on your offshore asset. Because they serve to significantly increase extraction, these systems are essential to meeting production targets. High-pressure water is injected into the well to dispose of water recovered from processing or to help facilitate product flow by maintaining reservoir pressure.
| Offshore Solutions MAXIMIZE PRODUCTION Full Range Equipment for Variable Pressures Like water injection, gas lift and gas injection are methods used to increase production as the well ages. In this application, gas injection may also be used as a way to dispose of unwanted gas production. In either case, the valves are subjected to high pressures and large pressure drops and must be able to maintain sufficient uptime.
Offshore Solutions | 7 Dependable Performance Across the Board Emerson uses innovative engineering practices to give you highperforming, reliable solutions specifically for precise level control. The rugged Fisher easy-e™ sliding-stem control valve has undergone extensive flow testing and evaluation, yielding a robust control valve that is the industry standard for dependability and longevity.
|Offshore Solutions REDUCE OPERATIONAL COSTS For years, reactive and routine maintenance has been the standard approach to valve and instrument care in the oil & gas industry. “Run-to-fail” often seemed like the most costeffective option. A traditional alternative to the run-to-fail strategy is schedule-based maintenance where inspections and refurbishments are performed to a schedule—whether they are necessary or not.
Offshore Solutions | 9 By moving the compressor’s operating point closer to the surge limit line, you can operate more efficiently. Safely Operate Closer to Compressor Limits Compressors can be the most critical and expensive components on your offshore asset. To minimize unplanned downtime, equipment damage, and risks to personnel safety, it’s critical to have a system and valve that recognize an impending surge condition and take immediate action to prevent it.
| Offshore Solutions REDUCE OPERATIONAL COSTS Flow Stability Means Improved Uptime Extreme water depths mean extreme conditions, like frigid temperatures, high pressures, and corrosion. Such severe temperatures, pressures, and pressure drops can result in the formation of ice-like structures, called hydrates. Hydrates can cause large plugs that block piping and other equipment, causing them to become inoperable.
