Oilfield technology provider Emerson said on Tuesday it has signed a ten-year deal with Total Exploration and Production Services to support the firm’s upstream oil and gas operations around the world.
The agreement, first of its kind between the French energy major and an automation systems provider, is part of Total’s strategy to standardise its integrated control and safety systems.
Under the contract, Emerson will be responsible for servicing, maintenance, obsolescence planning, on-call application support, spare parts management, and reporting activities relating to integrated control and safety systems used in selected Total onshore and offshore sites.
This includes Emerson’s DeltaV distributed control systems and DeltaV SIS safety systems, along with its AMS asset management software.
“This agreement strengthens Emerson’s excellent relationship with Total and enables our services team to support Total in its continuous efforts to optimize the efficiency of their operations and ensure high safety performance,” said Mike Train, president of Emerson’s automation solutions business.
“We appreciate being trusted to maintain critical automation systems that will help Total continue to run their operations safely and reliably.”
