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.
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.
Sea Swift is designed with a focus on reducing steel requirements and emissions. It supports the use of in-country logistics and fabrication facilities to control project costs and environmental impact, and it can be powered 100% by renewable energy sources.

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 […]
