Shearwater, Equinor, Lundin, Vår Energi Working on Marine Vibroseis Tech for Seismic Surveys
development and commercialization of what they say is sustainable marine vibratory source technology to minimize environmental footprint and enhance data quality from seismic data acquisition.This industry project builds on the existing technology cooperation between Shearwater, Equinor and the Norwegian Research Council, with Vår Energi and Lundin Energy Norway now joining and ensuring funding and commitment for the multi-year development, Shearwater said."The joint ambition is to acquire better quality seismic data, faster and with low sound energy by harvesting the untapped potential of marine

WIN WIN: Wind Powered Oil Recovery Concept Progresses
project is currently moving into its second phase, which includes refining and testing the electrical systems, and investigating possibilities for broader applications. The project consists of four partners: DNV GL, ExxonMobil and ENI Norge – all part of the first phase – and the Norwegian Research Council – a new participant for this second phase. The first phase of the project determined the concept is technically feasible, capable of meeting performance targets, and cost-competitive with conventional water injection solutions. The WIN WIN concept includes a floating wind turbine

Sailbuoy Takes Off
the severe weather in the north sea for months on end. Since the Sailbuoy is a new design for a new market it was a great challenge to get funding for further development. It was difficult to convince people that autonomous vessels is the way of the future. We received great help from The Norwegian Research council and internal funding at CMR to bring this vehicle to market. What do you envision will be the greatest challenge in bringing this vehicle from reality to market success? The challenge is to educate people about the advantages of using autonomous vehicles. The market

If workers can better gauge the conditions in which they operate, higher levels of efficiency and safety can be achieved. The initiative is backed partly by the industry and partly by the Norwegian Research Council and has garnered support and partial funding from NCE Subsea, as well as letters on interest (LOI) from high-profile subsea players, including Petrobras, Statoil, OneSubsea and Aker Solutions. CMR’s approved budget for 2015-2023 is $33.6m. (As published in the June 2014
