Subsea Digitalization: Remote Control
;connected Mocean Energy’s Blue X wave energy converter with a Halo underwater battery storage system developed by Verlume. The trial off the Scottish coast demonstrated how green technologies can be combined to provide reliable and continuous low-carbon power and communications to subsea equipment as a future alternative to umbilicals. TotalEnergies and Shell Technology recently joined the initiative to now deploy the system on live assets.Mechanical solution for stab-plate based control canister with six electrical stab-plate connectors in the bottom and two electrical and one fibre
ASL Concludes Metocean Survey for Canada’s Gas Transmission System
FortisBC Energy as part of its ongoing operations and maintenance activities supporting its stewardship of the Vancouver Island’s gas transmission system.Wave buoys and subsea current profilers were deployed from December 2023 to June 2024, with a mid-program servicing trip in March 2024.All subsea equipment and wave buoy mooring anchors were successfully recovered, with full recovery of all datasets. The field program measured directional waves and subsea currents at six individual moorings deployed at three strategic locations along the pipeline route in the Strait of Georgia near Powell
