Why our Sea Swift offshore platform?

Our flagship offshore platform Sea Swift delivers rapid returns in shallower waters. The platform has been designed to minimise build and implementation times, to reduce capex, emissions, and time to first oil or gas.

Modular by design, Sea Swift can be adapted to meet a range of field development requirements:

Monopile designs – quick to deploy, for when you only need a minimal topside or have one or two wells.
Conductor supported designs with up to 500Te topsides – ideal as a stand-alone platform in water depths of up to 100m, or the perfect bolt on to an existing platform when you need extra capacity.
Jacket supported designs – for when soil conditions or topsides requirements mean that you need that extra bit of support, or where a CSP is not the preferred option.
Smart designs – enhance your topsides with the latest in digital onshore monitoring technology, to reduce offshore trips and day-to-day maintenance/inspection.

Sea Swift is designed to improve the returns of existing projects and transform the economics of non-viable projects – offering a low-risk, low-cost route to reduced time to first oil or gas plus lower capex.

Installed via jack-up, or by using other existing in-country infrastructure, Sea Swift platforms are delivered faster than traditional offshore platforms, typically around 10 – 18 months. Our phased approach to installation means that drilling can begin, whilst topsides structures are finalised.

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.

Lower manufacturing and shipping emissions

Designed with up to 30% less steel than off-the-shelf jacketed options, the Sea Swift platform incurs lower manufacturing and shipping emissions

Reducing environmental impact

Installation via jack-up removes the need for heavy-lift barges, which are highly emissions-intensive due to fuel consumption – especially if they must travel long-distances between projects. As an example, mobilisation and transportation of a heavy lift barge from Rotterdam to West Africa would create 3,510 tonnes of CO2e. By using the jack-up rig, which is already in the field for drilling operations, this CO2e saving can be passed back to your project

Modular for fabrication flexibility

The Sea Swift platform is modular and can be fabricated in-country no matter the size of the fabrication yard. This both reduces transportation emissions and brings increased economic benefit to local markets

Powered by renewables

The Sea Swift platform can be fully powered by renewable sources, such as wind and solar. This eliminates the need for traditional diesel generators for power, significantly reducing emissions including those associated with the maintenance and logistics for refueling visits to the platform

Reducing unnecessary offshore trips

When equipped with our intelligent monitoring technology, maintenance trips are also reduced, as the platform will only require personnel visits when alerted via onshore systems
