Aker Solutions and Total have agreed to collaborate on research and innovation to develop new cost-effective subsea field technology.
The initial four-year technical collaboration agreement will build on earlier cooperation and bring both companies closer in developing technologies that will reduce costs and increase value at subsea oil and gas fields.
Subsea Processing and Compression
This year, the partnership will explore a wide range of issues, including further evolution of subsea processing and compression systems to boost cost-efficiency of deepwater gas production, development of electric subsea controls and optimisation of flow-measurement technologies. Further scope of the collaboration will be defined over the next months.
Total and Aker Solutions have previously worked together on subsea projects such as the Kaombo and Dalia developments in Angola and Moho Nord in Congo-Brazzaville.
