Cost and Analysis Cable Study using Foundation Fieldbus Instruments

Overview Foundation fieldbus (Ff) instruments are envisaged for offshore oil and gas production platforms. Ff instruments have valuable features, such as bus technology and digital communication, that are not available with traditional instruments. Because Ff instruments use bus technology, a reduction in wiring is imminent. This, in turn, will reduce wiring costs.

The following study was performed in order to analyze the available wiring options using Foundation fieldbus instruments and to determine the relative costs associated with the various cable routing options. In addition, an estimate of the costs associated with instrument commissioning was included in order that a complete view could be taken of the total costs incurred in instrument wiring installation.
