Rostec: Fiber optical system of underwater oil production

2020: Start of production of a fiber-optic communication line system for oil production under water

On October 12, 2020 Rostec announced the beginning of serial production of a fiber transmission system and conversion of optical signals (SPOS) for management of an underwater complex of shelf oil and gas production. Affirms that the technological solution for which creation the Polyus Research institute of M.F. Stelmakh is responsible considerably exceeds on information transmission rate all existing equipment, including foreign.

A system provides transfer of commands and data from sensors of management of an underwater complex of oil production at distance to 85 km and depth up to 500 meters. The developed algorithms of processing and conversion of a signal allow to connect up to 48 end devices to SPOS.

In the Russian Federation production of a fiber-optic communication line system for oil production under water started

According to the chief executive of Rostec Oleg Yevtushenko, unlike the existing samples which transmit signals on an electric cable work of SPOS is constructed on application of a fiber optical system thanks to what the repeated gain of data transfer rate is reached. At the same time developers considered features of functioning of the equipment deeply – the guaranteed term of system operation is not less than 30 years, he said.

The system of digital fiber-optical modules which provide transfer of an optical signal on the wavelength of 1.55 microns with a speed up to 1 Mbps was developed. Besides, within the project created prototypes of the underwater optical splitter which divides an optical line into four channels and allows to attach the bigger number of devices, the deputy CEO of Schwabe (it includes Polyus Research institute of M.F. Stelmakh) for Research and Development, the head of the priority technology direction on technologies of optoelectronics and photonics Sergey Popov explained.^[1]
