Shell Australia has chosen Emerson to provide automation maintenance and reliability services for the Prelude Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility, Emerson said in a news release.
Emerson and its partner, Western Process Controls, will provide equipment monitoring, diagnostic services, spares support, and maintenance for the facility’s control and safety systems, as well as thousands of instruments and valves, the company said. Two Emerson engineers onboard Prelude will work with other team members who remotely monitor the facility’s automation from Shell’s operations center in Perth.
Currently, Prelude FLNG is under construction in South Korea. Once complete, it will move to Australia to begin operations.
The facility is expected to remain on station at least 25 years as Shell and its partners develop gas reserves in the Browse Basin’s Prelude and Concerto fields. Prelude will process natural gas from subsea wells offshore Western Australia.
