For more than 50 years, Norway has been a global leader in offshore oil and gas production. A key enabler for this success was the emergence of a sophisticated supply and service industry, capable of taking on complex projects and delivering tailored solutions, while constantly improving their products and processes.

The story of Norwegian petroleum activity is the story of continuous technological development; ranging from small steps, making every day processes more effective, to great technological leaps, pushing the boundaries of what the industry can do. Technological developments have also been key in reducing the environmental impact of the petroleum activities.

Today, the oil and gas industry represents a spearhead of Norwegian technology, know-how and expertise. I believe a long-term commitment to research, development, and bringing new technologies to market will be vital when we embark on the next chapter of our petroleum history.

The past years have been challenging for the petroleum industry worldwide, and Norway has been no exception. The good news is that the situation is now improving. The Norwegian petroleum industry has worked diligently to adapt and realize efficiencies to increase productivity. As a result, Norwegian contractors have retained their competitive edge.

As part of a global industry, Norwegian contractors have deliveries to almost a hundred countries. In 2015, international sales amounted to 190 billion NOK – 40 percent of the total. These are impressive numbers, especially in light of the challenging market conditions, which further underlines their competitiveness and dedication to high quality.

However, this is not a time to relax. While costs have come down, the long-term challenge for oil and gas producers will be to keep costs down. Going forward, the willingness of producers to innovate and adopt new technology will be decisive. Great potential is still to be unlocked in areas such as better subsurface understanding, drilling efficiency, enhanced oil recovery, improved subsea systems and unmanned operations. Further, digitalisation and automation can help make processes less expensive, safer and more efficient. Norwegian suppliers are at the forefront in research and development encompassing these challenges.

The industry is also taking on new opportunities in the renewables sector. Offshore wind is a case in point, where technology and experience derived from offshore petroleum operations are being harnessed to employ new solutions. The fixed Dudgeon and fl oating Hywind projects off the coast of Scotland are bright examples, and I believe this is just the beginning.

The close interaction between oil companies, industry and research institutions has been the key to solving technological challenges on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. In turn, this has formed the basis of international competitiveness and success. I am truly proud of their results, and I trust you will find this issue of Norway Exports useful in learning more about the Norwegian petroleum industry.

A newly launched project by Norwegian Energy Partners aims at getting an overview of how the supplier industry has contributed to cost efficiency on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The industry is now in a radical change mode. The significant price fall of oil, which started second half of 2014 and first part of 2015, has led to insecurity and is characterized by big challenges. The oil and gas industry needs to think differently and the business needs to improve in many areas at the same time.

Radical and continuous improvement is a prerequisite for the industry to succeed in the years to come. The low oil price is both a challenge and an opportunity for the industry.

The downturn is also a good reason to focus on cost efficiency. It often means new use of technology and improvement of different processes. The Norwegian oil and gas industry possesses world leading technology, has a high reservoir utilization, top HSEstandard and environmentally friendly production. The industry is well positioned to take part in recovery of remaining resources in Norway and internationally – also with a future of lower oil price.

The operators have challenged the supplier industry to contribute to cost efficiency and make the supplier industry more competitive and sustainable. The supplier industry has responded to the challenge with great commitment and has made available cost effective products/ services /solutions the operators can take advantage of.

The Norwegian Energy Partners (NORWEP) considers it important to get an overview of what the supplier industry and NORWEP partners have contributed to cost efficiency.

The purpose of doing this is to show what has been achieved so that customers and decision makers with ease can find what is relevant for them. The customers should be able to see the advantage of using Norwegian suppliers and find relevant information about competence and qualified areas for each supplier.

One of the most important elements of information that should be covered through the project is to point at the areas where partners have achieved cost efficiency which can be relevant for the customers e.g., but not limited to, working methodology, technical specifications, use of new technology, standardization, digitalization, organization, contract structure and ways of cooperation.

The information will be accessible to the industry. As NORWEP has collected the information it will be important to communicate it to relevant parties. NORWEP can arrange meetings and workshops with the oil companies, rig owners and, engineering companies, yards and other customers with the topic “Cost effective solutions” where their partners can present their products/ services/solutions. NORWEP believe it is time to tell this exciting story and use cost effective solutions as a marketing tool on the international market.

NORWEPs plan is to collect and structure the information from partners and present it during 1st quarter 2018.

The main products range from simple weather stations to advanced complete helideck monitoring systems and environmental monitoring systems for marine and offshore users and other demanding applications. Typical add-on functions include anchor line monitoring, stress monitoring, motion and accelerations measurements, alarm functions, SCADA applications and many others. Offshore MetOcean Systems are exposed to the most extreme weather conditions and are not only expected to function in these conditions, but expected to measure accurately, providing correct data in order to document these conditions. All offshore platforms and vessels need environmental data for daily operational use and as an important tool for safety purposes. In more recent years these systems are also being tailor-made to measure the movements and conditions of the helideck and are used as a tool for improving the safety for helicopter traffic.

The company has had its software package DADAS in use in a large number of MetOcean data systems all over the world since 1992. The DADAS software is basically a general data acquisition package incorporating a very fl exible display module, a comprehensive reporting module, alarm modules and the possibility to control smaller processes directly. DADAS-PB is a special version now being used as standard MetOcean software for all Petrobras installations.

These are often known as EMS/EMP systems, weather stations or MetOcean systems and are a very important tools for many users onshore and offshore. EMS systems using the well proven DADAS software from Automasjon og Date have been in use for more than 18 years and have an excellent track record

Automasjon og Data has been involved in developing helideck monitoring systems since these systems were first introduced. New systems will comply with all known rules and regulations worldwide, including the CAA CAP 437, NORMAM 27 and the Norwegian Standard for HMS systems.

Drilling in deeper waters will often bring challenges related to fl uctuating and unpredictable currents. These may have a critical infl uence on both rig location and installation of expensive equipment. A system equipped with profiling current sensors (ADCPs) can give vital information about these parameters. DADAS software has simple and userfriendly displays that will give the user a quick and useful understanding of the situation. Current profilers with capability of measuring down a depth of 1,000 meters are available and can be tailor made for an installation. Automasjon og Data has developed current sensor deployment systems both for through hull deployment and for external guideline based installations for all kinds of offshore installations.

Automasjon og Data has vast experience in selecting, operating and maintaining the best sensors for the tough operational conditions offshore. Only sensors with an excellent track record will be recommended for use in such critical applications. The company can supply everything from single sensors to complete turn-key systems.

Automasjon og Data has a well qualified team of offshore service engineers, including experienced and certified support engineers onshore, who can undertake service work on all makes and models of MetOcean systems, EMP / EMS systems, HMS systems, meteorological and oceanographic sensors, etc. The company’s workshop is equipped for servicing and calibrating most kinds of sensors and instrumentation and has a fast track supply line for spare parts.

Automasjon og Data can perform an unconditional survey of older MetOcean systems—regardless of supplier—to evaluate the condition of the system and the need for upgrades. A thorough report is issued after the survey that documents the status of existing equipment, proposes upgrades if necessary and shows how such upgrades can result in less service and maintenance.

The Quality Management System is ISO-9001:2008- certified by DNV and all manufacturing and testing is documented thoroughly. The Quality Management System has been audited and approved by a number of third parties, among them Achilles Joint Qualification System and CAA.

HTS Maskinteknikk works closely with customers in demanding sectors like subsea, defence and aerospace in the role of a mechanics subcontractor and partner. Parts from the company’s production have found their way to the deepest subsea installations as well as to satellites bound for outer space. HTS Maskinteknikk, based in Drammen in the heart of the ‘Subsea Valley’ and close to the technological milieu in Kongsberg, supplies customers all around the world. Currently, approximately 50% of the company’s production is directly exported.

HTS Maskinteknikk specializes in high precision turning, milling and sophisticated welding related to its turning and assembly production. The impressive range of machines is among the most modern and extensive in Norway. More than fifty (CNC) numerical machines, many of them customized to make one or a few products, reflect a clear and targeted strategy. The company has always been willing to engage its resources in prototype production, but with its extensive range of machines and skilled people the company balances it with a constant flow of serial work at the same time.

After a massive wave of investments in buildings and machines several years ago resulting in, amongst others, the Deckel Maho department which features impressing milling precision and capacity, HTS Maskinteknikk has increased the number of dedicated turning machines for its subsea components during recent years.

Just in 2014 there were four new machines installed and paired with its organic growth it has now reached a comfortable capacity level where it is prepared to have continuous growth in the subsea sector. Furthermore, HTS Maskinteknikk has also made considerable investments within programming and has a good base of skilled programmers for five axis dynamic milling through the Mastercam tool that was installed last year.

The importance of quality welding has been increasingly emphasized in recent years, and HTS Maskinteknikk has definitely been at the forefront when it comes to investing in advanced welding equipment. The company’s welding is performed under laboratory-like conditions where the key factor for success lay in perfecting the repetitiveness controlling all the perimeters in order to obtain the best possible weld. The company approached Danish manufacturer Migatronic and had a custom made welding centre based on their special needs. The centre has a robot and two workstations providing both efficiency and great HSE advantages. After three years of service the company sees close to 0-defect capability in the welding process and thus the second machine was ordered. After only a few months in service HTS Maskinteknikk has now received a third welding machine and seems to be well prepared for market expectations for the years to come.

HTS has an extensive range of welding qualifications for various materialcombinations utilized for the subsea industry, and in diameters up to 1 inch.

HTS has always put a lot of effort into control and inspection and its main control department has its flooring separate from the rest of the building to ensure maximum accuracy in the company’s measurements. In total, three CMM measuring machines offers the opportunity to the continuous serial measuring of finished parts as well as control during production. During 2013 the company also invested in a scanner and a profile measuring machine for efficient in process measurements. HTS has even invested in its own calibration machine to ensure calibration of its equipment and the company also does some calibration for other companies.

With over 6,200 square metres featuring operator-friendly working conditions, all processes, including NDT and pressure testing, are managed in-house in order to achieve cost effective and efficient logistics as well as a maximum of flexibility to support the company’s customers’ needs.

HTS Maskinteknikk has a very dynamic organization and swiftly implements improvements that will become necessary in the future. A major ramp-up in personnel has been made since 2012 to better respond to the markets’ needs and what the future seems to hold.

HTS Maskinteknikk is proud to be a major mechanical actor with a base in Norway.

The TCC® has unique characteristics which are the consequence of generating heat through friction. A major differentiator compared to any thermal technology is the extreme short retention time of the waste in the TCC unit which not only results in recovered oil that is comparable to newly created base oils but also in very clean solids, a high processing capacity and a small footprint. A very important effect of the friction process is that it allows for full temperature control meaning temperature stability and the possibility to adjust temperatures immediately when needed to achieve an optimum separation result. With almost 60 TCC units in operation in the world, the TCC is the most applied technology for treatment of oily drilling waste and the TCC is the only thermal system used offshore.

Thermtech AS is located in Bergen, Norway and is the owner of the TCC technology. Thermtech supplies mobile units, stationary units and offshore units. Thermtech’s mission is to support its customers, mainly oilfield services - and waste management companies, to deliver superb treatment services of oily waste streams.

A TCC unit will be tailored to meet specific needs which derive from project specific requirements, climate conditions and environmental objectives such as discharge limits. Once the technical specification of the unit has been agreed upon with the customer, Thermtech will perform the detail engineering and the manufacturing of the unit. Installation and Commissioning is done by Thermtech field engineers in close cooperation with the customer’s personnel.

Once the unit is on location and in operation, Thermtech field engineers will stay on site to supervise the execution and to perform on-thejob- training and education of the customer’s operations personnel. Once the operators are well trained, Thermtech engineers move out. In Norway Thermtech has a workshop in which process mills are produced and refurbished, a test center for new waste streams and a warehouse for the storage of spare parts. From Mongstad, spare parts are distributed all over the world and if required field engineers are travelling to location to perform repairs. From the office at Paradis, remote technical support is provided through Internet connections with the TCC® units securing the optimum performance.

To utilize the ocean’s marine resources efficiently and sustainably, it is crucial to obtain accurate, up-to-date, information about the continuously changing ocean environment. Traditional approaches of collecting environmental data from research vessels are costly and requires significant investments in labor and equipment. To meet future challenges and opportunities, routine and continuous access to information on the ocean’s biological and oceanographic conditions is crucial for all ocean industries and for managers of ocean and coastal resources.

Businesses and environmental managers at the forefront are seeking easily accessible high quality ocean data, and increasingly from more remote areas of the ocean. Therefore, scientists are now testing unmanned ocean vehicles, equipped with a range of sensors, as a more cost-effective approach to collect large sets of data over vast areas of the ocean. The unmanned ocean vehicles collect data from the ocean surface and deeper in the water-column. They are easily re-programmed to adapt to changing data-collection needs and to operate in new ocean areas.

Unmanned ocean vehicles collect field data and send it via satellite on shore. From left: Wave Glider, Sailbuoy and Seaglider^™. (3D visualization by courtesy of Kongsberg Maritime AS)

The project “GLIDER - Unmanned Ocean Exploration” is financed by the Research Council of Norway DEMO2000 program, with additional support from the offshore industry. The research and consultancy company Akvaplan-niva (Tromsø, Norway) is leading the project. In 2017, the project consortium will perform a series of technology testing activities. Three different unmanned vehicles was deployed August 1st outside Sandnessjøen, Norway, and retrieved September 7th at Bodø, Norway. In 2018, the unmanned vehicles will be continuously deployed from March through September.

The vehicles are a diving Seaglider™ (produced by Kongsberg Maritime AS), a Sailbuoy (produced by Offshore Sensing AS) and a Wave Glider (operated by Maritime Robotics AS). These are energy efficient platforms that also take advantage of energy from waves, wind and solar power. They are equipped with a GPS and programmed and navigated from land.

Each vehicle carries a variety of sensors for the collection of chemical, physical and biological ocean and atmospheric data. These sensors provide continuous measurements of weather, waves, currents, temperature, salinity, O₂, CO₂, pH, ocean acidification, marine algae, animal plankton, fish fry and marine mammals. The Glider project will collect a vast amount of metocean and environmental data in time and space at greater flexibility and lower cost compared to traditional sampling.

The project will use this experience to realize a professional business solution to manage data-collection and to develop data-analysis routines that can be offered to different markets for field campaigns to acquire both, short- and long-term, time-series of data. The project will, in cooperation with users, develop a system for distribution and management of the collected data. This will ensure that data are tailor-made for different marine and maritime industrial users (such as offshore oil and gas, aquaculture, fisheries, offshore mining and tourism), and for government authorities and the research sector. The goal is to offer baseline information for decision making to support profitable ocean businesses and governmental management. The collected data will contribute to better understanding of the structure and function of the marine ecosystem, improving existing ecological, oceanographic and meteorological models.

The partners in this project will use this experience to realize a professional business solution to manage data-collection and to develop data-analysis routines that can be offered to different markets for field campaigns to acquire both, short- and longterm, time-series of data.

NORSAR’s Department of Microseismic Monitoring conducts research and consulting services with focus on:

• CO₂ storage monitoring
• Waste-water injection monitoring
• Subsidence monitoring due to Oil & Gas production
• Deformation monitoring in and around mines
• Instable rock-slope monitoring
• Monitoring during hydraulic fracturing

To observe microseismicity, networks of geophones need to be installed in a specially designed configuration. Ideally, long strings of geophones should be deployed in several wells. However, offshore costs have pushed for an alternative solution using large sea floor deployments.

To facilitate this process, NORSAR has developed the commercial software MDesign.

NORSAR’s first processing results obtained from such sea fl oor sensors at the Oseberg field demonstrate that microseismicity can be detected and successfully located.

Geological storage of CO₂ in large scales will inevitably change the stress field within and around the selected storage reservoir. If such stress field changes exceed the strength of rock, or the strength on pre-existing faults and fractures, the stress field will be relaxed through sliding of the rock along such fractures and faults. For the safety of any CO₂ storage site, real-time detection and location of such microseismicity is required.

The unique advantage of microseismic monitoring is the real-time aspect. Once the smallest amounts of microseismic activity occurs, this information can be reported to the operators within seconds. Hence, countermeasures to e.g. reduce injection pressures can be initiated immediately. In addition to the risk management aspects, the occurrence of microseismicity within the reservoir will allow the operators to track the pressure front of the injection process. The principles of induced seismicity apply also to many other research areas, such as mining, rock-slope monitoring and hydrocarbon production.

CO₂ storage must be scaled up immensely in order to meet legally-binding emissions targets of the Paris agreement

The challenges for oil and gas companies charged with operating and monitoring mega-scale storage operations are to predict capacity, maximize efficiency and minimize risk. Uni Research CIPR has developed a suite of fit-for-purpose methodology to meet the developing needs of industry where traditional methods fall short.

Standard reservoir simulators are un-fit to meet the challenges of gigatonne CO₂ storage. Kilometer-wide CO₂ plume migration must be coupled with centimeter-scale physics of convectivedissolution.

At the same time, injection-induced pressure pulses can extend 100s of kilometers into far-field, high-risk zones. Fit-for-purpose simulators are more efficient than one-size-fits-all.

• Advanced multiscale simulation of CO₂ migration and trapping
• Reservoir and basin-scale domains
• Decadal and century timescales
• State-of-the-art property models for pure and impure CO2
• Model forecasts within minutes on a desktop computer
• Built-in evaluation of model confidence given uncertain data

Operators must demonstrate containment to conform to regulatory frameworks. Seal integrity must be ensured around faults and fractured zones.

Leakage of fluid and pressure outside of the licensed area can cause unwanted costs and project delays. Uni Research CIPR can provide reliable assessment of fault stability and other high-risk features in the reservoir.

• Identification of seismic and sub-seismic faults
• Advanced fault-facies modeling
• Analysis of outcrop analogues

Geophysical monitoring is crucial for operational safety and efficiency. Key issues are: CO₂ placement, hazardous pressure buildup, CO₂ leakage to the overburden, and history matching. Proper use of geophysical monitoring results requires the ability to interpret (invert) the data.

The figure shows possible leakage scenarios in the reservoir during CO2 storage, from Torabi et al., 2015, First Break.

• Use multiple data types (seismic, gravimetry and EM)
• Adapt inversion to track CO2 front Easily adopt new data types
• Efficiently account for large number of unknown parameters
• Quantify uncertainty as an integral part of the inversion methodology

Uni Research CIPR employs 40 researchers with expertise in mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology and engineering. Most researchers in the department have education at the PhD level with many years of experience in international projects.

• Reservoir and basin simulation
• Thermodynamics
• Uncertainty quantification
• Inverse methods, history matching
• Fault mechanics and fracture characterization
