Baker Hughes Launches All-Electric Subsea Production System
Energy technology company Baker Hughes has launched its new all-electric subsea production system, the industry’s first fully electric topside-to-downhole solution for offshore operations.The modular system allows for existing tree designs to be seamlessly updated for electric operations, while electro-hydraulic trees currently operating in mature assets can be retrofitted for full electrification.This transition will result in enhanced production control, increased reliability and lower carbon emissions throughout the life of the field. The elimination of hydraulics will also result in reduced
Subsea Redesign Underway for Floating Offshore Wind
The 66kV high voltage wet mate connector currently undergoing technical qualification by Baker Hughes weighs in at around one ton and has over 40 liters of dielectric oil protecting copper cable up to 1,200 square millimeters in diameter.The connector is designed to sit on the seabed at the end of a dynamic cable coming from floating wind turbines and connect it to a collector hub that ultimately delivers the megawatts of energy it produces to a subsea substation and then to shore.There’s a lot that could go wrong. Cable failure is a high-cost problem for fixed offshore wind even though
Subsea Digitalization: Remote Control
, SLB OneSubsea. “Looking forward, the industry needs more data to develop a deeper contextual understanding of equipment performance to safely extend the productive life of offshore assets and to enable circularity.”For Fouzi Bouillouta, Global Program Manager – EngageSubsea at Baker Hughes, maintaining equipment up-time is critical. With the growing digitalization of a growing number of subsea assets, his aim, using tools such as the company’s modular engageSubsea platform, is to break down data silos, consolidate multiple data streams and bring end-to-end operational visibility
Passive Monitoring Systems Deployed for Australian Projects
Sentinel Subsea has deployed monitoring systems in Australia to support the decommissioning of subsea assets for a major client in collaboration with Baker Hughes.Two of the company’s passive subsea integrity monitoring systems, WellSentinel™ Coral, were deployed that enable the continuous monitoring of temporary suspended wells in the remote field. The systems were installed onto two 18 ¾” wellheads from a vessel of opportunity, and no in-well intervention was required.In another project, Sentinel Subsea successfully deployed two WellSentinel™ Coral-Frond Hybrid systems
CGG and Baker Hughes Form CCS Alliance
French marine seismic firm CGG has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with U.S. energy services giant Baker Hughes to facilitate the parties exploring jointly offered carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions.The collaboration and proposed commercial alliance intends to support the rapid increase of CCS projects that is underway by providing high-quality and fully integrated end-to-end solutions to screen, select, characterize and monitor potential carbon storage sites worldwide.“CGG shares a strong commitment with Baker Hughes to actively support low-carbon markets with new technologies

McDermott and Baker Hughes Install Subsea Infrastructure at Ichthys Field
Engineering company McDermott and Baker Hughes have completed the installation of subsea infrastructure at the Ichthys liquefied natural gas (LNG) field in northern Australia.The work was conducted for Inpex as part of the contract McDermott and Baker Hughes secured in 2019.The scope of the contract included engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of umbilicals, risers and flowlines (URF), a subsea production system comprised of a new 7-inch vertical Christmas tree (VXT) system, all forming a subsea well gathering system (GS4) tied back to the existing Ichthys Explorer central
