The Sea Swift is a platform solution that provides rapid returns for oil and gas, CCS, offshore wind, and offshore green hydrogen developments. Field tested and trusted.
Designed to minimise build and implementation times, reduce CAPEX, emissions and time to first production, our flagship offshore platform Sea Swift is trusted by operators all around the world.
Its modular and flexible nature means it can be adapted to meet any number of field development needs, it has a wide range of benefits, making it the perfect solution for oil and gas, offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS), offshore wind, and offshore green hydrogen developments. Its versatile nature means subsea structures and topsides can be mixed and matched to specific field development requirements. The end-to-end, simplified design, reduced steel requirement and focus on using in-country logistics and fabrication facilities keeps expenditure low and helps control project costs.
We can provide comprehensive EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation) support that covers everything from analysis to design, fabrication, project management, and offshore installation.
For more information about how our innovative platform solutions can support your next field development project, get in touch. Or if you would like to learn more about key projects and experience, you can download our case study.
Supporting projects ranging from a single well to comprehensive developments, our platforms are designed to enhance the returns of existing projects and transform the economics of non-viable ones. By offering a low-risk, low-cost pathway to reduced time to first oil or gas, as well as lower capex, the Sea Swift provides a transformative solution that maximises efficiency and profitability.
We place high value on increasing local content in the locations that we operate and look to work with local fabrication partners and source materials from in region wherever possible.
A Sea Swift monopile or conductor supported platform design can be fully installed using a jack-up, or other existing in-country infrastructure, and our phased approach to the installation process means that drilling can begin, whilst topsides structures are finalised.
Learn how we delivered a 100% autonomously powered Sea Swift platform for an offshore project in Angola.
If you’re considering a platform for reintroducing CO2 into an offshore storage location, you may have the option of utilising an existing platform in a suitable location or building a new one.
For projects requiring a new platform installation, our Sea Swift CO2 platform solution is the ideal choice. Due to its flexible nature, it can serve as a crucial hub for injecting CO2 into depleted offshore reserves. The platform topsides can be easily modified to include the required components, including CO2 compressors and storage infrastructure designed to withstand the specific properties and behaviour of CO2, that are crucial to optimise injection operations. Depending on the number of wells you are planning to inject a monopile, conductor-supported or jacket design could be utilised.

By combining advanced technology with its modular design, we are able to provide the ideal solution for green hydrogen production from your offshore wind development.
Sea Swift H2’s modular design enables scalability, allowing you to adapt and expand your green hydrogen production capacity as needed. Whether you start with a single unit or a large-scale deployment, the inherent flexibility ensures efficient and cost-effective operations. Its modular components can be easily integrated, reducing deployment time and minimising environmental impact.
Sea Swift integrates electrolysis technology to efficiently split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, so you can confidently produce green hydrogen that meets the most rigorous industry standards.

It is a versatile, modular, production platform designed for rapid deployment and returns in oil and gas, CCS, offshore wind, and offshore green hydrogen developments. It’s modular design minimises build and implementation times, reduces CAPEX and emissions, and accelerates time to first production.
Key benefits include reduced steel requirements, lower CAPEX, accelerated time to first oil and gas, modular designs, supporting industry decarbonisation, and the ability to be adapted for a wide range of field development needs, including oil and gas, CCS, and renewable energy projects. Sea Swift platforms can be delivered faster than traditional offshore platforms, typically 10-18 months, our phased approach to installation means that drilling can begin whilst topsides structures are finalised.
It can serve as a substation for offshore wind farms, efficiently transforming and transmitting power to onshore grids. For green hydrogen developments, it integrates advanced electrolysis technology for efficient and scalable green hydrogen production from offshore wind.
Yes, the platform’s modular and flexible nature allows for customisation to meet specific field development needs. Its design supports a mix-and-match approach for subsea structures and topsides, catering to a variety of offshore projects.
