Power Line Communication of Subsea Production Control System: a Review

Abstract

Abstract:

Nowadays subsea production system has been the mainstream mode of subsea oil and gas exploitation, of which the subsea control system is the most important part. As one of the main communication methods of subsea control system, subsea power line communication has a direct influence on the safety and cost of the subsea oil and gas exploitation. Firstly, the principles of power line communication in subsea electro/hydraulic control system are introduced, and the promotions from organizations like ISO/TC 67, Intelligent Well Interface Standardization (IWIS) and Subsea Instrumentation Interface Standardization (SIIS) are summarized. Secondly, the application history of power line communication in world's subsea projects is reviewed from the aspects of transmission rate, communication distance and modulation method, etc. Lastly, considering the unique characteristics of umbilical power line, uncertain system topological configuration and electromagnetic interference from subsea boost pump, special challenges that the power line communication technology faces due to subsea environment are analyzed.

Key words: subsea oil and gas exploitation, subsea production control system, electro/hydraulic control, subsea power line communication, Intelligent Well Interface Standardization
