ABB has extended its relationship with bp through signing a five-year Global Frame Agreement (GFA) to supply automation, electrical and telecommunications equipment across bp’s upstream and downstream assets and facilities. The partnership, with ABB as a supplier, aims to streamline system integration, reducing risk, cost and project execution time.
As part of the scope of the agreement, ABB will deliver an Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) with the ABB Ability™ System 800xA® Distributed Control System across bp’s facilities. In line with ABB’s Automated System Vision, System 800xA will be central to the smooth adoption by bp of new technologies while preserving and elevating existing operations. This will help advance facilities towards a more open, modular and resilient automation environment that seamlessly integrates and optimizes performance.
Additionally, ABB will be able to provide the Electrical Distribution System (EDS) for safe, reliable and efficient operation of assets. This can include power distribution equipment, power management systems, medium and high voltage switchgear, and low, medium and high voltage motors.
ABB’s Digital Telecommunications Systems will enhance bp’s digital infrastructure, lowering total cost of ownership. ABB can provide long-term maintenance and health monitoring for electrical, instrumentation and control systems, with solutions including asset management, obsolescence management, and spare parts support.
ABB will offer the Adaptive Execution™ project management approach which integrates the automation, electrical and telecommunications systems throughout the project life cycle from design to delivery. Adaptive Execution can help mitigate project risk and cost, shortening timelines by 10-30 percent and reducing capital expenditure by up to 40 percent.
