en.Wedoany.com Reported - ABB has announced a modernization upgrade of the automation system at the Buzzard offshore platform, a project aimed at supporting UK energy security. The upgrade will involve phased updates to ABB's installed ABB Ability™ System 800xA® Distributed Control System and Safeguard 400 safety system, enabling the platform to introduce necessary improvements while maintaining operations, thereby limiting downtime and reducing project risks.

ABB's engineering team in Aberdeen will manage the project, which also supports testing and evaluation for the Buzzard platform through an onshore reference system. Validating the upgrade plan onshore before offshore deployment helps reduce risks, minimize production disruptions, and maintain operational continuity.

Nicolas Alonso, Head of ABB's Energy Industries division in the UK, Ireland, and Azerbaijan, stated that the project reflects ABB's long-term partnership with CNOOC's UK operations and a shared commitment to safe and reliable operations. By modernizing the existing automation system, ABB can help support UK energy security at a time of growing demand.
