New technologies for fail-close subsea electrical actuators, based on spring, batteries, and even closed loop hydraulics have been developed, promising to enable more cost effective subsea All-electric X-trees for a wider audience (customers...

... Abstract This paper investigates using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to collect wall thickness measurements from wireless, ultrasonic, sensors installed on subsea assets. This technology has the potential to safely and cost-effectively extend the lifespan of subsea assets. The WAND...

... Abstract Early and reliable automatic Oil Spill Detection is a vital tool for offshore operations. The earlier a spill is detected, the less chance it has of causing an environmental disaster. As the popularity of Oil Spill Detection has grown, information integrity and cybersecurity...

... Abstract In 2023 the world first resident underwater intervention drone (UID) had been operational for more than 5 months continuously, unlocking a revolutionary "vessel-free" way of conducting inspections and light intervention. A year later, the same drone is continuing its pioneering...

.... This paper addresses how close collaboration between the operator, system contractor, and sub suppliers has enabled the development of a robust and cost-efficient solution for the Ormen Lange project by using carefully selected technology elements and an accelerated qualification process to mature them...

... of maintenance in harsh marine conditions exacerbate operational risks and environmental impacts. A world leader in subsea power systems based in Aberdeen, United Kingdom, has identified an opportunity to utilize its expertise in intelligent energy management and energy storage to make subsea power systems more...

... Abstract This paper provides an overview of the de-risking process for the Aquanaut underwater vehicle, culminating in its first offshore trial on an operational field. The multi-phase approach assessed the vehicle's reliability and performance under real-world conditions. Initially, Aquanaut...

... these operations will have impacts beyond the reduced decontamination cost. A range of factors have been identified, currently contributing to a suboptimal topside decontamination process. Of special interest is: Unfavourable split between onshore and offshore decontamination campaigns Upcoming supply...

...-heading operations to dissolve scale deposition accumulate on tubing wall. Bull-heading is effective in wells with low severity scale buildup where the fluid can be displaced into the targeted intervals in tubing without significant losses. After flowing back, wireline intervention by suitable gauge...

..., specifically Specific Gravity (SG), to optimize ESP performance and reduce operational costs. Importantly, this system is designed to ensure effective long-term well management, providing a sustainable solution for the industry. After evaluating various machine learning models, the integration of the Random...

... Abstract Objectives/Scope Modern environmental regulations require operators to address issues with problematic old wells before being permitted to drill new ones. Furthermore, in places such as California, USA, and other environmentally cautious countries, operators must also commit...

.... It can be economically challenging to map the layout of both observation and producer wells in addition to the cost of drilled wells dedicated only for observation. The use of multilateral technology enables operators to convert an existing observation well to become a dual function well of observation...

... by enabling the adoption of low- or un-manned operation strategies. The authors’ company has been involved in several North Sea electrification and digitalization projects where these concepts have been successfully applied or are in the early stages of implementation (e.g., Hywind Tampen, Troll West...

... Abstract This paper describes the operating status of oil and gas platforms offshore California and factors inhibiting the timely decommissioning and removal of aging oil and gas infrastructure. The paper further highlights the environmental, safety, and financial risks created by delayed...
