GE Oil & Gas has agreed to a close cooperation with SPT Group that offers its global customers enhanced online flow assurance solutions for improved flow regularity over the life of the field.

“The oil and gas industry is increasingly focused on remote operations and digital oilfield solutions,” says Dean Arnison, Controls & Informatics Director, GE Oil & Gas. “This new cooperation between GE Oil & Gas and SPT Group builds on unrivalled expertise in subsea control systems and online flow assurance technology to fulfil a key part of an e-field infrastructure.”

As the world’s oil and gas field developments move to harsher, deeper environments, the need for a more refined insight into the operation of subsea production systems increases. By combining the experience of GE Oil & Gas and SPT Group, advanced solutions can be developed to meet these challenges and optimize production.

This close cooperation means a tighter integration of GE Oil & Gas and SPT Group solutions. Ultimately, GE Oil & Gas and SPT Group aim to develop common user interfaces and new technologies associated with closed loop control and condition monitoring to further improve the efficiency of subsea operations.

“This cooperation framework will allow for online flow assurance to be integrated into our new SmartCenter™ facility, in addition to the Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics capability at our controls systems services hub in Nailsea,” Arnison said.
