Subsea technologies and services features

Solving subsea’s biggest challenge

Developing technology to compress natural gas on the seabed and send it straight to shore - as an alternative to installing a large offshore platform - has been a long-term goal for the offshore...
Subsea compression heritage

In 1985, a brilliant Norwegian engineer drew a quick sketch of his vision for how subsea compression might work in the future. Now, over 25 years later, that vision has been transformed into realit...
Boosting Åsgard production

Aker Solutions is at the forefront of subsea gas compression. In addition to the Ormen Lange pilot, the company was awarded the contract by operator Statoil in December 2010 to supply a complete...
Subsea technologies and opportunities

Subsea technologies hold the key for future field developments in deeper waters, complex reservoirs and longer step-outs.
Reverse thinking

Sometimes the simplest solution can solve the trickiest problem – and that is what Aker Solutions has achieved with the invention of the world’s first bidirectional wireline tractor for working in...
Eyewitness Macondo

This spring and summer, the world’s eyes have been focused on the Gulf of Mexico, where the Deepwater Horizon tragedy and subsequent oil spill from the Macondo well took place. Under BP’s direction...
Staying connected

A new generation of diverless subsea connectors has been developed by Aker Solutions, making the installation of subsea systems in deep water easier, faster and more reliable.
Water in, oil out

Since the 1970s, water treatment systems and injection pumps have been installed on the processing decks of offshore platforms to send filtered and sterilised seawater into the reservoirs. In some...
Fast-track turnkey development

In one of the offshore world’s most impressive fast-track development schemes, it took just 28 months from field discovery before first oil started flowing from India’s MA-D6 reservoir in September...
