Offshore/subsea systems
The North Sea project, which is sending production to the nearby Ivar Aasen platform, came online 9 months ahead of schedule.
Equinor said it found between 14 million and 24 million BOE with its most recent exploration well in the Polynya Tubåen prospect.
BP sanctioned development of the Kaskida in 2024, with first oil from the high-pressure project expected in 2029.

Moving to higher-capacity wellhead systems for high-pressure and high-temperature (HP/HT) environments will require a larger mandrel and conductor-casing size. -
To help lower costs of offshore projects, DNV GL has launched initiatives focused on the use of composite components.

Statoil is going to work to put its enormous Johan Sverdrup discovery into production, showing that even one of the most explored parts of the North Sea still has significant potential.
-
As subsea electric lines age, they are prone to cracks that allow seawater in, reducing their effectiveness, and if the leaks are bad enough, they can shut down operations.
-
To support subsea processing of heavy crudes, an inline electrocoalescer was tested for separation of water droplets dispersed in the crude oil.
