When drilling a well over a platform from a jack-up rig, environmental motion will mean that the rig is moving relative to the platform. Your pre-project riser analysis report will have provided the maximum allowable relative offset for the riser system, but there is no way of knowing whether the motion is within allowable bands. Plus, there is no way or correlating this motion with the environmental data for your exact offshore conditions.
Aquaterra Energy’s platform and rig monitoring system has been developed to overcome these exact challenges – it’s a modular, real-time digital solution which incorporates accelerometers and operational sensors. When combined in our system they provide operators with real-time wave, motion and current data for the platform, rig and riser system.
Proven, flexible and integrated drilling well access solutions, improving efficiency across subsea developments.
Riser-based systems for safe and reliable well re-entry, for intervention and abandonment operations.
Intelligent analysis supporting confident delivery, smarter investment and sustained project success.
Expert CO₂ storage solutions, supporting tomorrow’s energy transition.
Integrated subsea systems connecting seabed infrastructure through to surface operations.
Innovative offshore platforms tailored to unique project needs, from concept to installation.
Delivering a full suite of specialist products, supported by decades of offshore expertise.
In the first article in this series, I outlined why subsea tiebacks have become the only realistic development route left in the UKCS and why the window to execute them is narrowing fast. But urgency alone doesn’t make a project deliverable. Subsea tiebacks often get described as the quick, low‑CAPEX answer to unlocking remaining reserves, especially in […]
