Subsea

The subsea infrastructure development project included engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of umbilicals, risers and flowlines (URF), a subsea production system comprised of a new 7-inch (approximately 18 centimeters) vertical Christmas tree (VXT) system, all forming a subsea well gathering system (GS4) tied back to the existing Ichthys Explorer central processing facility.

The West Delta Deep Marine (WDDM) concession is located approximately 90 km offshore Egypt, on the north-western part of the Nile Delta. Significant gas volumes have been discovered in numerous fields and reservoirs.

As part of a ten-day inspection campaign, Aker BP and DeepOcean inspected subsea trees and other subsea infrastructure at the Alvheim subsea field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Wood’s Operations business will deliver engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) services to enhance the central processing facility of bp’s Eastern Trough Area Project (ETAP) production hub in the central North Sea.

First oil is expected to occur early in the second quarter 2024, and from three initial wells projected to deliver gross production of approximately 22,000 boepd. 

TechnipFMC has been awarded a major integrated Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (iEPCI™) contract by Petrobras to deliver the Mero 3 HISEP project, which uses subsea processing to capture carbon dioxide-rich dense gases and then inject them into the reservoir.

As offshore oil and gas targets and their development rapidly become more complex, operators need greater speed and certainty in decision making. Subsea Live* data-driven performance service enables operators to proceed with confidence and transition from reactive to proactive operations by integrating OEM expertise with automation, physics-based simulation, and AI to extract actionable insights in a secure collaborative digital solution. This automated process analyzes real-time data while accounting for the dynamic nature of production to keep operators informed—not just for the status of equipment health and operational performance, but also with data-driven actionable insights, giving them advance intelligence for production optimization and for anticipating and mitigating performance issues and failures to enhance asset performance. *Mark of Schlumberger

A company has developed a novel sensor technology to overcome direct measurement of load using strain gauges that allows for accurate measurement of strains in a wide measuring range, as part of a subsea wellhead integrity monitoring system.

There has never been a more challenging time for the energy industry. In the subsea sector, the search for optimised costs, minimised carbon emissions, and maximised performance is set to intensify, as oil prices continue their unpredictable trajectory.

Subsea injection of drag reducing agents (DRA) into flowlines reduces friction and substantially increases production. For years, DRA has been widely used onshore, and in upstream transfer and export systems. Today, breakthrough advancements allow DRA to be injected into subsea production systems.

Historically, the subsea development workflow was sequential, fragmented, and not adaptive to change. That has made it difficult, time consuming, and expensive to manage the changes that are inevitable in the energy industry. OneSubsea Agile Subsea Production Systems—Agile SPS—enhance subsea performance from appraisal through abandonment to mitigate the dynamic risks associated with subsea production system selection, configuration, delivery, and production. And, regardless of your basin’s status, development phase, or current infrastructure, Agile SPS bring optimized performance through its life of field configurability. Agile SPS adapt to dynamic field conditions for the life of the field incorporating a standard platform that starts with a common core and adapts to your requirements with numerous fit-for-purpose functional modules that address technical challenges without affecting the core performance. Discover how Agile SPS offer you the responsiveness, functionality, and certainty that you need to strengthen your business case and optimize economic viability in your basin.
