Subsea Wellhead Integrity Monitoring (SWIM™)
2018-04-24 - 4Subsea
Category: Drilling operations and well control
Subcategory: Wellhead solutions, protection systems and well design
Found in challenges: Maritime operations, Maritime operations
Type: Product
SWIM measures the accumulated load on the wellhead during the drilling operation. Autonomous
sensors are monitoring BOP movements and data is transferred wirelessly to an ROV. The drilling
team receives live update regarding wellhead integrity every time the ROV collects data –
typically every hour to four times a day. No extra personnel are required on the rig.
In arctic regions, severe weather such as Polar Lows occur. SWIM provides your operation with
better decision support during drilling operations, with reliable knowledge on whether to
disconnect or continue drilling when operating in bad weather.
Operators can reuse critical wells and maximise lifetime of wellhead by scheduling drilling
operations based on well criticality and historically accumulated load on wellhead.

Conductor Analysis
2018-04-24 - 4Subsea
Category: Drilling operations and well control
Subcategory: Wellhead solutions, protection systems and well design
Found in challenges: Maritime operations, Maritime operations
Type: Service
The conductor is the main load-bearing component in a satellite well, typically drilled for
exploration or appraisal purposes. In order to have control of the well, it is crucial that the
conductor retains its integrity at all times. Primarily during the entire drilling campaign, but also in
the case of an accident, such as loss of position or if a capping stack needs to be installed.
Operators in arctic regions struggle with limited operational windows during drilling. 4Subsea’s
conductor analysis documents that the conductor can maintain required integrity during the entire
lifespan of the well. By tailoring the analysis to the specific rig choice, well location and design, we
reduce cost by maximizing the operational window and avoid oversized equipment.

WellTrack™
2018-09-10 - 4Subsea
Category: Drilling operations and well control
Subcategory: Wellhead solutions, protection systems and well design
Found in challenges: Maritime operations, Maritime operations
Type: Service
WellTrack™ is a collaboration solution designed specifically for managing key data and the
integrity status of wellheads. The solution improves the ability to plan operations, basing decisions
on verified information, so that operators can make the right actions at the right time. WellTrack™
significantly reduces time and cost spent on wellhead integrity assessments.
In the harsh arctic environment with limited weather windows, robust planning of well operations
is paramount. Part of this planning is knowing the status of the wellhead. This is essential when
connecting to a subsea well to perform completion, workover or a side track operation.
Keeping track of key data provides better decision support, allows for extended service life, and
secures optimal production from your wells.

Portable Annulus Tester PAT™
2018-09-10 - 4Subsea
Category: Asset Integrity Management
Subcategory: Analysis of root cause failure, risk and reliability, stress and hazard
Found in challenges: Maritime operations, Maritime operations
Type: Product
Arctic operations are often located in remote locations where there is an advantage to reduce the
required number of workers on site. The Portable Annulus Tester PAT™ is an “Engineer-in-a-box”
solution that removes the requirement for mobilising dedicated third-party personnel offshore.
The patent pending system is the first in the world to completely automate and digitise flexible
riser annulus testing.
The hand-carried test unit performs complete annulus tests, and algorithms are enabling the
operator to take immediate action if anomalies are detected. The system presents results on the
FlexTrack™ digital platform, accessible to both onshore and offshore personnel.
The hand-carried unit allows for simple and cost-effective annulus testing of risers using operators'
own personnel.

Category: Asset Integrity Management
Subcategory: Analysis of root cause failure, risk and reliability, stress and hazard
Found in challenges: Maritime operations, Maritime operations
Type: Service
4Subsea’s AMOS™ is a continuous annulus monitoring system for new and existing (retrofit)
flexible risers. It uses a patent pending method to detect failures such as outer sheath damages
and blocked ventilation ports early on, hence preventing costly replacements, shutdowns and
accidents. AMOS™ also provides the option of automated annulus free volume testing as well as
automated nitrogen annulus testing.
AMOS™ serves as an additional barrier to the prevention of annulus failure, which is especially
important for operations in remote locations where emergency response teams are far away.
AMOS™ provides safe operations, improved decision-making as well as reduced cost when
operating flexible risers. The system reduces risk and averts potential costly replacement of risers.

The development of a robust and cost effective Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) package
is vital to the successful delivery of a capital investment project. This is especially critical for harsh
and remote environments such as the arctic. ABB can provide experienced project and functional
engineers to take your project from the initial concept through to a fully developed front end
engineering package complete with an installed cost estimate, which can be used to confidently
sanction your project.
Our aim is firstly to arrive at the safest, simplest and most cost effective plan, then put it into
practice in the most effective way possible. The FEED package produced forms a firm foundation
for later stages of the project, with no unpleasant surprises.

Traditionally, offshore platforms generate their own electricity by burning fossil fuels to run
onboard gas turbines and/or diesel-powered generating units, resulting in local pollution to the
environment. As we move operations into the environmentally sensitive arctic regions, it's
importan to lower our emissions.
ABB's solution is to supply offshore installations with electricity from the mainland using a power
cable transmission system. By replacing costly onboard electrical generating systems burning
natural gas or diesel fuel, a power-from-shore solution can eliminate platform CO2 emissions
entirely. It also increases available space and reduces weight on the platform, and improves the
working environment. In addition, cable systems are easier to maintain than generators.
