Baker Hughes Launches All-Electric Subsea Production System
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 cost, time and complexity of subsea installations.The all-electric subsea production system is designed for shallow and deep-water developments, making it ideal for subsea carbon capture, utilization and storage fields as well as long offset
TechnipFMC to Supply Subsea Production System for Shell’s Nigerian Deepwater Project
Oilfield services company TechnipFMC has secured a contract with Shell’s subsidiary, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo) to supply its Subsea 2.0 production systems for the Bonga North development offshore Nigeria.The contract, valued between $250 million and $500 million, covers the design and manufacture of subsea tree systems, manifolds, jumpers, controls, and services.Shell recently made a final investment decision (FID) on deepwater Bonga North development, which will be a subsea tie-back to the Shell-operated Bonga Floating Production Storage and Offloading
Scottish Subsea Robotics Firm Gets Seven-Figure Investment Boost
work through its fleet of autonomous, all-electric submarines.Namely, the company aims to capture a 20% global market share within the next decade using a fleet of its Loggerhead submarine systems.Loggerhead deploys ROVs from a mothership submarine once it arrives at a work site, such as a wind farm or oil field, with the vehicles controlled by operators safely onshore from a control room, all while harnessing advanced communications technology and AI.As well as reducing costs, the system is said to be able to replace heavily crewed vessels, which typically run on diesel engines, removing the equivalent
