Standard Subsea Control Systems
Through standardized processes, common core
components, and qualified, field-proven assemblies,
OneSubsea can deliver a complete control system
solution—from topside through subsea distribution to
subsea equipment mounted controls—within 12 months.
These highly configurable solutions are designed to bring
greater efficiency and reliability to subsea operations,
enabling project viability and helping you meet a range
of functionality requirements while driving downcapex.
Since 1999, OneSubsea has
designed and delivered more
than 900 subsea control
modules in more than 50
projects worldwide. Our control
system uses existing robust and
reliable technology, providing
the versatility and flexibility
your project requires to achieve
maximum capital efficiency.
The control system can be configured for
various projects:
■ cluster layouts, tiebacks, daisy chains,
and templates
■ shallow to ultradeep water
■ tree- and manifold-mounted controls
■ riser base, pipeline end manifold, or
pipeline end termination systems
■ short to ultralong stepout.
OneSubsea control systems have the highest
reliability in the market, delivering
■ reduced opex by minimizing interventions
■ significantly reduced deferred production.
A range of power and
communication architectures
is available:
■ AC or DC power for
longer reach and reduced
umbilical costs
■ various communication
options
● copper communication
(on power or separate)
● high-speed fiber
optics (FO)
● industry-leading
DSL-distributed
Ethernet communication.
Advantages Flexible Functionality
Quality Control
The QC requirements for our subsea control systems
are in accordance with API Specification 17F.
Our facilities are certified per API Q1, and our
strategic subcontractors are certified to ISO 9001.
Surveillance by independent competent bodies
facilitates preengineering of materials, which
enables preordering and, in certain cases, stocking
them to secure lead time and protect schedule.
Surveillance by customers is available during
factory-acceptance testing.
Materials
All material specifications used conform to
API 6A and API 17D and were chosen on a
component-by-component basis. Pressure-
containing components additionally conform
to DNV GL recommended practices (RP)
for steel forgings for subsea applications
(DNVGL-RP-0034). A range of standardized
material options is available based on
component criticality, manufacturability,
and environmental compatibility.
The standard subsea control system is built from a suite of preauthored quality control, material,
welding, and coating specifications that simplify and expedite our execution processes. OneSubsea
works with approved vendors to ensure that they can manufacture the required components, enabling
high confidence in quality and lead time.
The coating for controls equipment
is rated to temperatures up to
122 degF [50 degC]. A separate
procedure is available for
topside equipment. The standard
coating specifications give
the requirements for surface
preparation, selection of coating
materials, application procedures,
and inspection of protective
coatings to be applied on the
subsea control systems equipment.
CoatingWelding
Our welding procedure for subsea control systems
conforms to API 6A, API 17D, API 17F, API 17P,
and ASME B31.1. Adhering to proven, tested, and
repeatable processes enables OneSubsea to
■standardize welding specifications within and
across product lines and vendors
■provide a superior engineering design that
meets or exceeds industry specifications at
alower cost
■deliver increased value by enhancing the
product without incurring added costs.

Subsea control module.
The SCM is configured to suit your specific
field requirements using field-proven designs
built from a suite of standard components. The
modular system approach enables customization
to meet your project needs. Extremely reliable in
design, OneSubsea SCMs provide market-leading
availability for subsea production fields with an
unparalleled response time.
The OneSubsea topside controls provide you
with a suite of equipment mounted on the
host structure to communicate with your
subsea infrastructure. The system interface
is user friendly and provides the control and
monitoring required for surface and subsea
installed equipment. It comprises five
main components:
■ MCS—fully redundant Linux®-based
operating system with full obsolescence
management, which supports all
relevant interfaces like the MCS and
distributed control system (DCS) interface
standardization (MDIS) to the DCS
■ EPU—fully redundant system that
provides conditioned AC or DC power
tothe subsea infrastructure
■ CIU—unit that provides a turnkey
solution on the chemical delivery
and distribution
■ HPU
■ TUTA.

The OneSubsea distribution system provides you with a fully integrated
subsea system to control, communicate with, and optimize your field.
It is made up of six main field-proven components:
■ Umbilicals—dynamic, static, and infield umbilicals can be supplied with
the required project configuration of tubes, hoses, electrical cables, and
fiber optics to simplify interfaces and reduce delivery time
■ UTA—supporting sizes B and D per the standard outlined by the
Umbilical Termination Size Reduction joint industry partnership,
with one to four hydraulic stabplates and electrical and fiber-optic
termination and distribution
■ UTH—umbilical termination head for direct connections of infield
umbilicals to subsea structures
■ SDU—modular design for up to 12 hydraulic stabplates with the
capability to mount CDUs or SAMs as well as electrical distribution
■ CDU—highly reliable communication distribution for FO and DSL
Ethernet communication, including power switching capabilities
■ Flying leads—various configurations for HFLs, SFLs, EFLs, and FOFLs
available to match the layout and connection requirements.
