Subsea

Subsea7 will be responsible for the engineering, construction, and installation of the subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines, as well as the associated subsea architecture.

As part of the SAFEEN MOU agreement, the thrusters will be subject to extensive cycle testing to fully validate functionality, durability and integration capabilities with existing ROV systems.

The new tube product represents the next generation of super-duplex seamless tubing developed specifically for the offshore oil and gas industry. It builds on the success of the SAF 2507 (UNS S32750), which has become the industry standard.

DeepOcean’s scope of work includes pipeline inspections, seabed mapping, ad-hoc pipeline survey and light construction work. The agreement is valid for 2024.

Authorities have consented to the start-up of production on the Hanz accumulation on the Ivar Aasen field in the North Sea. The development solution involves reusing the subsea installations on the Jette field, which was shut down in 2016.

Shell Offshore Inc., a subsidiary of Shell plc, announced the start of production at Rydberg, a subsea tie-back to the Shell-operated Appomattox production hub in the Gulf of Mexico with an estimated peak production of 16,000 boed.

Castrol Transaqua SP-HC is suitable for Electro-Hydraulic Multiplex (EH-Mux) or direct hydraulic control systems in high-pressure, deep-water gas projects exceeding 20,000 psi (1379 bar), where entrained gas may contaminate control lines, creating a risk of hydrate formation.

TechnipFMC has been awarded a substantial contract from Shell plc for the first integrated Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (iEPCI) project to use high-pressure subsea production systems rated up to 20,000 psi (20K).

DeepOcean will plan and execute a wide range of subsea activities, including subsea construction and jumper installations as well as subsea IMR work, at ExxonMobil Guyana’s operations at the Stabroek Block, located approximately 120 m offshore Guyana.

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

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.
