Oil and gasoline firm Aker BP ASA has partnered with PXGEO Gear Ltd., a geophysical service supplier, to reinforce its subsurface exploration and growth actions. In a media launch, Aker BP stated it plans to maximise worth creation and move effectivity by means of a LEAN operations philosophy.
“To attain this, we acknowledge {that a} worth chain with strategic partnerships and alliances is important. We due to this fact work along with our strategic companions on frequent targets to make sure continuous enchancment and share advantages and danger”, the corporate stated.
Latest findings in seismic imaging and seismic velocity fashions constructing from Ocean Backside Node (OBN) knowledge obtained on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) point out a superior high quality in comparison with different seismic datasets obtained by means of completely different strategies, Aker BP stated. It stated such operations entail excessive prices.

PXGEO operates the Manta-engineered hovering autonomous underwater car MantaRay. The unit is deployed to get better ocean backside nodes with minimal influence on the ocean ground, Aker BP stated. The MantaRay expertise has the potential to cut back a seismic survey operation time considerably. Aker BP stated it is going to allow it to seize extra detailed and correct photographs of the subsurface, cut back operational dangers and environmental footprint, and optimize its exploration and growth actions on the NCS.
The collaboration with PXGEO is integral to Aker BP’s strategy of using digital developments and innovation to reinforce worth and enhance efficiency, it stated. Historically, buying Ocean Backside Node seismic knowledge has been a prolonged and expensive course of, primarily utilized for growth initiatives and 4D seismic assessments. Aker BP stated it acknowledges the chance to make the most of the progressive expertise launched by PXGEO for large-scale OBN exploration surveys.
“We’re very excited to accomplice with PXGEO to deploy this progressive seismic acquisition expertise on the NCS. The MantaRay expertise will allow us to accumulate high-quality seismic knowledge in an economical and environmentally accountable manner, and help our ambition to ship worthwhile and sustainable progress on the NCS”, stated Per Øyvind Seljebotn, Senior Vice President for Exploration and Reservoir Improvement at Aker BP.
