ABB has extended its relationship with bp through signing a five-year Global Frame Agreement (GFA) to supply automation, electrical and telecommunications equipment across bp’s upstream and downstream assets and facilities. The partnership, with ABB as a supplier, aims to streamline system integration, reducing risk, cost and project execution time.
As part of the scope of the agreement, ABB will deliver an Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) with the ABB Ability™ System 800xA® Distributed Control System across bp’s facilities. In line with ABB’s Automated System Vision, System 800xA will be central to the smooth adoption by bp of new technologies while preserving and elevating existing operations. This will help advance facilities towards a more open, modular and resilient automation environment that seamlessly integrates and optimizes performance.
