The 24 hour operation of the ON SHORE sites requires secure and permanent reliability of the power supply.
AUGIER provides this both in the PROCESS (instrumentation – cathodic protection – power supply– pipe warming…) as well as in the PERIPHERAL (security fence – traffic lanes – CCTV – sentry box..)
Transport and Distribution of Electrical Power on Onshore Oil and Gas Sites
Production continuity and personnel safety depend directly on the reliability of the power supply. Even a brief outage can lead to costly process shutdowns or even hazardous situations.
Challenges of Electrical Power Distribution in Oil & Gas
Meeting these challenges requires expertise combining electrical engineering, knowledge of oil industry standards, and mastery of field constraints.
AUGIER’s Two Main Areas of Application
Power supply for process applications:
- Instrumentation and control systems
- Cathodic protection of pipelines
- Main and backup power supply
- Electrical heating of pipelines (heat tracing)
- Lighting of work areas
Power supply for peripheral infrastructures:
- Perimeter security fences and gates
- Roadway lighting
- Video surveillance and access control
- Guardhouses and gates
AUGIER Solutions
Supplying remote loads over several kilometers using transmission voltages from 3,200 V to 6,600 V.
Stepping down the voltage as close as possible to the equipment by installing sealed step-down substations.
These substations, consisting of a transformer and protective fuses, can be installed directly in underground chambers. They are particularly suited to hot and sandy climates.
