Application: Emergency Shutdown System (ESD) and Fire & Gas Detection System

Installation Area: Offshore/Onshore Qatar

Client: Occidental Petroleum of Qatar (via ABB PTE)

Contract Value: £1m+



Occidental Petroleum Ltd is one of Hima-Sella’s largest clients in Qatar.

Through ABB PTE in Singapore, we are commissioning a completely integrated Emergency Shutdown, Fire & Gas Detection System and DCS for the PS-1K Project. This latest series of programmable systems comply with SIL3 at IEC61508.

Working as a direct contract to Occidental, we have recently undertaken extensive modifications to the existing systems on the PS1 complex, on which we have installed a series of Emergency Shutdown and Fire & Gas Detection Systems over the last few years.

The modification program involved the relocation of the existing control room on the central PS1 platform to a more remote location and therefore a more safe distance from the production area. The work on this project had to be done on a live basis and was successfully completed without any shutdowns or downtime.

Our work with Occidental is supported by a full compliment of site service programmes in which our engineers inspect and test the current systems on a regular basis in line with the requirements of the customer.
