To enable a step change  in how the Renewables segment will operate reduce LCoE,  design and infrastructure must cater for inherent safe and simple design, and a live digital twin with a high grade of automated controls and processes will have to be in place. All based on a holistic life cycle cost analysis to maximize value generation.

Aker Solutions aim to support this transition through a Maintenance and Operations philosophy fit to purpose and deliver on the Operation Strategy  through highlighting new technology, digitalization and associated work processes/methodology required.

Product Manager: Jarle Daae

Introducing drones and robots into the operation will not only create value from the efficient completion of inspection tasks but will also capture a wealth of operational data during operation.  For example, a single sensor will collect data used for multiple purposes related to regulatory inspections, maintenance tasks, operator tasks and surveillance.  This leads to a massive pool of data and information that is too complex for efficient analysis by humans. 

Because of this, advanced data analysis tools and AI must be leveraged to assess the significant amount of data collected.  The tools available today have immediate benefits in this area, and there are healthy pipelines to develop more complex tools over time.

Our Engineering & Advisory Group will guide and help you develop a roadmap to reep the short-term benefits adapting to use of robotics as a service today, as well as the longer term use-cases for a more holistic approach covering more operational segments.

The ability to gain insight and value from centralized data is critical to effectively managing and optimizing work processes. We provide our customers a range of propriety systems and intelligent analytics; Coabis™ for inspection and integrity management, Integri-Tech™ for fitness-for-service & lifetime extension, and QVi™ (Quantified Visual Integrity) for collaborative work process integration, optimization and data visualization. These provide our customers with full access to their assets data, current condition and performance while providing a comprehensive framework to effectively plan, report and support overall improvement.

Pipelines are a critical element of the onshore and offshore delivery infrastructure that require an optimized approach to ensure maximized availability, reliability and throughput. This includes both operational activities, inspections, maintenance and repairs. Our approach for both surface and subsea pipelines is based on a combination of performance and risk based methods, augmented by our data management and analytics offering. We carry out a detailed assessment of current conditions and performance, quantify risk, manage and execute required inspections, conduct a fitness for service analysis and effectively manage all data requirements.

Structural integrity is the first safety barrier in managing hazards on any asset. By applying detailed knowledge and experience, our engineers accurately assess the structural integrity and overall safety standards. We combine a practical approach with advanced analysis to find the best solution, adapting to the changing requirements of the asset as it ages. We design and assess major and minor modifications and upgrades of hulls, jackets and topsides and offer solutions for lifetime extension and reliability-based inspection planning.

The whole function of an asset is to produce, and so the integrity of the pressure systems stands at the core of the assets ability to give the desired returns. Our integrated services cover all aspects of pressure systems integrity management throughout an asset’s lifecycle. We develop cost-optimized strategies and plans to fit our customer’s operational models while providing direct support for current fitness for service and remaining life. Accordingly we prioritize inspection where it is needed, advise on what is required to extend the life of the system components and provide experienced anomaly management and close-out support.

Aker Solutions offers a complete turnkey service to prioritize, detect, repair and report Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) leaks, both onshore and offshore. We work directly with our customers to develop Emergency Preparedness Analysis (EPA) and client compliant Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) programmes for assets of any size and at any stage in their lifecycle. This way, risk to personnel is mitigated, while unnecessary releases, pollution and associated lost revenues are prevented.

Driving the change towards value based maintenance, giving cost-effective improved performance. The application of proven reliability and maintenance engineering aimed at value creation provides the opportunity for improved system uptime while ensuring return on investment. We see the big picture. By taking a holistic approach towards maintenance, inspection, testing and monitoring, and having a thorough understanding of technical, administrative and organizational elements, we can deliver fully optimized strategies and builds that cater for today’s business drivers; reducing execution costs and spares holdings, while increasing overall efficiency.

Subsea integrity management combines the challenges associated with the subsea production system and associated infrastructure and the expense of remote access to the seabed. Our Subsea AIM services offer cost effective, integrated and practical solutions reflecting the need for predictability and minimal interruption to production. We work closely with our customers to develop and manage inspection, maintenance, operational and monitoring programs for their subsea assets and associated infrastructure. We also provide direct support for anomaly management, life extension and fitness for service studies.
