Offshore/subsea systems
The company has installed an autonomous drone system on Aker BP’s Edvard Grieg platform in the North Sea, enabling frequent, remote inspections from shore.
This paper describes the use of coiled tubing in a pilot project for carbon dioxide injection, enabling evaluation of the conversion of an existing oil field for CCS purposes and derisking storage-development uncertainties before having to cease hydrocarbon production.
This paper describes the first riserless coiled tubing services operation performed in a live subsea well and the associated improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and safety.

The paper highlights key learnings in well and reservoir surveillance analysis and optimization that have been developed using early production data from the Wheatstone project offshore Australia. -
Flow assurance in subsea oil and gas fields often presents significant challenges. Every field has its own combination of difficulties, and no universal process or system can be used to mitigate these. Detailed knowledge across a broad range of competencies, therefore, is required to find solutions that can minimize the risk of not getting the hydrocarbons safely to t…
