subsea

The company is set to supply offshore well services and subsea systems for Vår Energi-operated fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

A recently signed contract lines the company up to provide autonomous ocean robots for inspection of the oil giant’s subsea field developments in the Gulf of Mexico.

The discovery in the US Gulf of Mexico was tied back to the existing Shenzi tension-leg platform.

The contractor will install flexible pipe and subsea structures on the field in Block 17 offshore Angola.  

The final investment decision for the 2016 discovery is expected to come in early 2024.

The authors of this paper describe systems that combine fiber-optic communications for subsea control systems and downhole fiber-optic sensing systems into the same subsea optical distribution system.

This paper describes development of a fully integrated system for the provision of low-carbon, remote power and communications using wave energy converters.

The Pickerel-1 well encountered 90 ft of high-quality oil-bearing Miocene reservoir and will be tied back to the Tubular Bells production facilities.

The component is part of a full subsea deepwater completion/intervention system being designed by Expro for use on the Chevron tieback.

The project aims to power subsea equipment with wave power and subsea energy storage. The two technologies have been deployed in the seas off Orkney, Scotland, and have begun a test program where they will provide low-carbon power and communication to infrastructure.
