US company Emerson has secured a five-year contract to offer remote predictive maintenance and operational support services to BP's Clair Ridge platform and the Glen Lyon floating production, storage and offloading vessel. This prepared them to effectively handle abnormal situations and resolve any operational issues that might have delayed reaching first oil. Emerson will use its Plantweb digital ecosystem to remotely monitor the sites, relaying real-time data to local operators. The firm is also working with BP on an offshore drilling project in the Gulf of Mexico that could be completed by 2015.
