Estudo de um sistema de controle para um Manifold submarino de injeção

Abstract

This paper analyses the control system of a typical subsea water and gas injection manifold of Brazil’s pre-salt, focusing on its electronic part and on the topology of the electrical distribution. It is then showed a proposal for a new topology for the electrical distribution based on the change of the subsea electronic module into a new concept of electronics here called the Subsea Electronic System, which is a future technological tendency for the ultra-deep waters oil & gas market. A comparison is presented, showing the advantages and disadvantages of both systems.
