“The oil and gas industry is increasingly focused on remote operations and digital oilfield solutions,” says Dean Arnison, controls & informatics director, GE Oil & Gas. “This new cooperation between GE Oil & Gas and SPT Group builds on unrivalled expertise in subsea control systems and online flow assurance technology to fulfil a key part of an e-field infrastructure.”
“This cooperation framework will allow for online flow assurance to be integrated into our new SmartCenter facility, in addition to the Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics capability at our controls systems services hub in Nailsea,” Arnison said.
The GE Oil & Gas SmartCenter is a remote access data hub and a key tool to enable life of field support services. Located in Nailsea, UK, this state of the art technology center will offer remote assistance and services to the field at every stage of development.
“Our aim is to implement a standard way of using OLGA online which can be delivered through selected partners. The cooperation with GE Oil & Gas is a great stride towards achieving this ambition,” says Tom Even Mortensen, chief executive officer SPT Group.
“Developing our partners’ capabilities of integrating OLGA-based simulators and streamlining the technology towards online use yields confidence in the deliveries and more efficient deployment.”
