INTRODUCTION
Proserv has been manufacturing control systems in the UK since 1976 and has considerable
experience in subsea production system engineering and subsea control system design.
As the industry technology has advanced into locating much of the production equipment on the
seabed so Proserv has developed control, monitoring and safety shutdown systems which are able to
operate in this equipment either from the surface, or the subsea environment.
Early involvement in the Subsea arena began for Proserv in the 1980’s with the design and prototype
manufacture of our own subsea control module, using our in-house spool-type control valves. These
whilst initially adapted and evaluated for subsea use did not show the degree of durability of the
carbide shear seal type valves used in our subsea control systems today.
A number of subsea hydraulic systems for short step-outs and SSIV controls were made, but it was
the development of our Wellcon multiplexed electronic programmable control modules employing
shear-seal valves that established Proserv presence in the subsea market.
In 1992 our first complete multiplexed Electro-Hydraulic subsea control system was developed and
the first full system deployed the following year.
In 1999 the Artemis subsea control system was developed adding deep water ROV deployment to
the product line.
The inclusion of the Sicom OCC modem technology in 2007 enabled open and high performance
subsea network availability.
In 2014 Proserv launch the latest generation subsea electronics Artemis 2G (A2G) which provides
operators with a reliable, more accessible and flexible system with increase data and power
performance and full compliance with latest SIIS, IWIS, ISO and API specifications
With much more reliance on oil and gas field life extension and brownfield expansion of older field the
Artemis and A2G technology from Proserv now provides an alternative to using the original
Equipment Manufacture with the Augmented Controls Technology (ACT) provided by Proserv subsea
controls technology.
In 2017 the latest OCX modem from Proserv provides greater communication processing, extended
bandwidth and inbuilt configuration tools to provide our solutions with up to 4Mbps data speeds over
distance on powerline copper for use with MPFM instrumentation and subsea video on installations.
