Aker BP Taps Vissim to Develop Digital Platform for Offshore Oil Spill Monitoring
for oil spill monitoring and detection is that operators shall possess detection technologies which, combined, make them independent of weather conditions and that non-functional systems shall be registered.According to Vissim, the new software is an easy configurable web-based solution for any oil and gas assets. It will be applied to Aker BP-operated assets on the Norwegian continental shelf, and will be easily accessible for both onshore and offshore personnel.The software system will also integrate meteorological data to allow Aker BP to plan for so-called compensating measures in connection with
Odfjell Oceanwind aims to Help Decarbonize Offshore Drilling with Floating Wind
business model also includes being a design house and a solutions provider, providing technology for wind farm development.The lease model has proven to be quite attractive for many oil and gas operators [particularly when there is] uncertainty in regards to how long they will be able to keep the oil and gas assets producing.So the whole concept of a multi-location design that can be redeployed proves very attractive, and it’s kind of a circular economy approach, which is new to the oil and gas business.Can you share insights on proposed day rates?At this stage we do not share day rates publicly

of energy storage solutions plays a crucial role in the future of intermittent renewable power sources, and the interconnectivity of our energy systems. We believe such systems will not only unlock additional grid-connected offshore wind, but it could also play a valuable role in decarbonizing oil and gas assets.”Daniel Buhagiar, Co-Founder and CEO of FLASC B.V., said: “This funding support from UK BEIS provides a major boost to our technology development initiatives, and we are extremely proud to have been selected in this pioneering and highly-competitive funding program; one of the first

be dominated) by the same factors impacting the oil, gas, power cable, and wind farm marketplace.To adapt to these changes, marine service companies are diversifying their portfolios. GMSL, ASN, and SubCom have all leveraged on their subsea telecom experience to support communications to offshore oil and gas assets and offshore observatories used by scientific research organizations. Few have chosen to leave the telecom sector, as, although less profitable, it can act as a counterpoint to the energy sector to allow multi-use resources to be shared across markets.The FutureAs we look to the future, some

were improved to be able to work on the grated floors. However, new sandpaper-like anti-slip flooring installed in the test facility at Lacq has again shown higher level of wearing for tracks. Without testing, robot manufacturers don’t know about these issues that are specific to offshore oil and gas assets, says Bartoli.It’s just as important to prove reliability, he says. Which is why, in November (2020), two Taurob Inspectors (named Charles and Edward) were handed over to TotalEnergies for a 12-month trial at Shetland Gas Plant, where only Total staff are operating them. There, they&rsquo
BMT Supports Oil & Gas UK with New Guidelines
and how this should be declared or demonstrated to the UK’s Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning.” BMT undertook a suite of oil spill modelling scenarios and associated assessment analyses to assist in the development of a common tool for licenses of oil and gas assets and determine where financial responsibilities lie in the event of an oil release. Utilising the SINTEF Oil Spill Contingency and Response (OSCAR) model, BMT determined the potential cost implications of the accidental releases focusing on key areas including: fisheries; aquaculture; tourism
