subsea

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.

The supermajor redefined its Mad Dog II development in three key ways: a blank-sheet redesign to cut costs, altering the way it works as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a digital twin offering unique access to the asset from anywhere in the world.

The drilling of the Berling field will begin in the third quarter of 2026, with gas and condensate production expected in 2028.

The contractor will see the delivery of its first subsea production systems to Azule Energy.

Production from the Dover field is expected to start in late 2024 or early 2025.

The multiyear, $20 million-plus contract is for a well abandonment campaign in the Balmoral area in the UK central North Sea.
