ABB has won an order worth nearly US$120m to supply the overall electrical power system (EPS) for the Jansz-Io compression project in Australia.
The order was placed by the project operator Chevron Australia, and its partner Aker Solutions, following concept development and a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study.
ABB said that it will provide most of the electrical equipment for the project to transmit 100MV-As for a distance of nearly 140km and at depths of 1,400m.
The project is expected to combine ABB’s two core technologies, power from shore and variable speed drive (VSD) long step-out subsea power.
With works commencing immediately, the subsea compression system is expected to begin operations in 2025.
Located around 200km offshore the north-western coast of Australia, at a depth of nearly 1,400m, the Jansz-Io compression project is part of the Gorgon natural gas project, which is operated by Chevron.
