Subsea electronics module

With the extraction of subsea oil and gas reserves becoming increasingly challenging in deeper and more isolated areas, greater data is required from subsea instrumentation to provide operators with the information necessary to make effective decisions and optimise production. Longer step-out distances between subsea fields and host facilities also mean that improved communications and power technologies are needed to enable production in remote locations.

The A2G SEM is a next generation controls and communications tool that uniquely frees operators from the constraints of an existing brownfield umbilical by finding additional signal capacity to enable a cost-effective field upgrade or extension. In addition, A2G offers high-speed, copper-based, multi-drop networks as a viable alternative to fibre optic infrastructures within the subsea production system.

A2G maximises flexibility and optimises functionality providing more powerful communications and instrument support. Furthermore, it increases accessibility for remote usage though its web page interface from subsea to the desktop and provides advanced configuration and diagnostics to deliver unparalleled adaptable communications.

The A2G subsea electronics module has been developed as an advanced intelligent management tool which, as a result, is more flexible and optimises functionality. It is effectively the brain of the subsea and control operations because unlike other tools, it controls all of the communication systems and enables the power, speed and accessibility necessary for the control and monitoring of challenging subsea infrastructures and environments.
