developments, including harsh
and sensitive environments. Our
portfolio includes separation, HV
electric power distribution and
booster pumps and compressors.
VetcoGray has already designed,
built and tested the major
components for a subsea electrical
distribution system for the
successful Troll subsea separation
project. This experience has
led to a unique capability in
dynamic simulations to optimize
field architecture, in system
design and in product development.
With growing demand for subsea
processing and boosting
generating requirements for high
voltage power and distribution
systems, VetcoGray has
considerable skill and
experience in subsea power

Software Global Services

The enhanced subsea control system (ECS) is an evolutionary step in the development of the true e-field
operation, providing smart building blocks to support digital operations. As integrated components of
the subsea process control system, there are a number of software applications that help operators
to improve offshore productivity. One example of these software applications is the ‘Virtual flow meter’
which provides accurate well allocation and real time production data. This can be a cost saving
substitute or alternatively a useful back-up to physical flow measuring devices. This advanced model
based software solution for online, real-time calculation of oil, gas, water content and flow rates from
each well is the key to executing successful flow assurance, optimization and slug prevention strategies.
VetcoGray’s global Aftermarket services provide a fully-integrated capability for the application, management
and care of drilling and production equipment, onshore and offshore.
With more than a century’s experience of Aftermarket, a global network and highly-trained personnel,
VetcoGray is committed to one-stop access for the full range of services. Our mission is to minimize downtime,
maximize asset use, optimize equipment life cycles and provide full obsolescence support.
From initial delivery and installation through operations to decommissioning,
the scope includes one-off tasks, specific projects and life of field support,
covering field service, repair, rental, spares, field life management,
intervention & workover controls, workover risers & completion systems.

We provide software
