In an industry that can gravitate toward bespoke solutions, Aker BP sought something different: a simplified setup. The operations team believed simplifying vendors’ subsea control equipment for completions would reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase safety. Over a period of 6 years, the operator worked with Optime Subsea and Halliburton, which later bought Optime, to develop digital hydraulic controls and an associated orientation system that could install a tubing hanger in Christmas trees without umbilicals and other conventional equipment.
