Altering offshore operations

Breaking industry conventions requires more than a good idea; value creation is fundamental to driving change. Opening eyes to the potential benefits of change is often where it falls down; however, if it ain’t broke, why fix it? What if you could reduce HSE exposure offshore by 100% and improve operational efficiencies all whilst building a digital representation of your entire network, reducing environmental impact, and enabling parts of the workforce currently inaccessible to the offshore industry? Now it sounds like something worth fixing. Transitioning to remote systems is simultaneously revolutionary, evolutionary, and an enabler for the industry.

Our working methods are entirely guided by the ‘now’. The population explosion, urbanisation, environmental effects of climate change, and technological advancements that have catapulted us into the connected digital age are all factors causing the world we live in to change and evolve more quickly than ever before. As some developing nations speed up the rate at which their economies expand and change, energy demand is anticipated to continue rising. The discussion overgrowth, higher output, and infrastructure replacement is driven by the fact that when global demand increases, the manufacturing infrastructure that supports it does too. This puts decision-makers in the problematic position of guaranteeing the least possible environmental impact whilst meeting economic constraints. So, begging the question, is the way we do things now equipped to handle this expansion?

Nowhere will the strain of this expansion be felt more than in the national and international pipeline network …
