Adopt Remote Intervention to Reduce Offshore Mobilization and Supplier Leverage

Jarle Marius Solland, operations manager of Subsea Execution & Survey at Aker BP, cited multiple benefits of the shore-based operation, including fewer personnel sent offshore; the capability to deploy specialist expertise across multiple projects simultaneously; more flexible planning; and reduced time and costs. “Aker BP’s operating strategy involves drones and robots on platforms and subsea (ROVs) being an integrated part of observation, inspection and task execution offshore," said Thomas Øvretveit, SVP of

As the Dina Star vessel had originally mobilized to map the seabed around Skarv, not for intervention work, management was switched to the remote operations center (ROC) in Haugesund, from where the team coordinated activities with the crew onboard the vessel in real time. From the remote operations center in Haugesund, the company coordinated activities onboard Dina Star in real time

“Aker BP’s operating strategy involves drones and robots on platforms and subsea (ROVs) being an integrated part of observation, inspection and task execution offshore," said Thomas Øvretveit, SVP of Operations. “These technologies will operate autonomously or via remote control, either locally or from shore

According to Longitude, undetected mooring line degradation or failure can lead to high offsets, riser damage, production shutdown, and environmental incidents

Longitude has secured its first contract with an undisclosed oil and gas operator for a newly developed live mooring line tension monitoring system for FPSO operations. The Proper Live Load (PLL) system provides continuous monitoring of the real-time tension of the mooring lines on floating offshore units

Mooring line tension monitoring: real-time tension estimation using a validated mooring model. 6-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) motion monitoring: full vessel motion tracking (surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, yaw) via combined GNSS and inertial data

The minimum work commitment includes acquiring 1,500 km of 2D seismic and 2,300 sq km of 3D seismic, as wels as the drilling of one exploration well
