Objective
- Determine method of re-establishing communications with use of an electrical downline (EDL) and plugging into the SCM via subsea electrical connector.
- Identify a Master Control System (MCS) with the appropriate software that is capable of communicating with the 20-30 year old SCMs.
- Conduct an offshore campaign to implement system and re-establish communications.

Outcome
- Identified that existing platform MCS were operable and suitable for communicating with SCMs. The MCS was removed from original offshore installation and modified to be a portable system. A purpose built EDL was provided.
- Conducted onshore systems integration testing to confirm continuity, insulation integrity and to ensure that the software will appropriately interpret the signals that are received from the SCM’s.
- Conducted vessel campaign to deploy EDL and plug into SCMs.
- Interpret data received from SCMs to determine the internal status of the asset.
