Baker Hughes has launched the engageSubsea remote – an extension of the engageSubsea platform for remote HSE inspections.
The engageSubsea remote serves as an equipment inspection tool, support and management platform, and is designed to drive operational excellence and increase capital productivity for offshore oil and gas operators, according to Baker Hughes.
It provides access to real-time information on equipment status and location, enabling users to manage equipment portfolio more effectively and efficiently by increasing safety and reducing time and cost.
engageSubsea has already been proven in live deployments, including customer sites in the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
These deployments saw time to first-time fix improve by 80%, while resolution time improved by 69%, with an overage cost savings of 50%. As a result of reduced travel and site visits, carbon emissions were also reduced by 22%, according to Baker Hughes.
Ben Linke, Vice President, Services and Offshore for Oilfield Equipment at Baker Hughes, said: “We understand our customers’ challenges. This sector is under constant pressure to improve performance while costs are squeezed from all angles, and of course safety must always remain the top priority. That’s why we developed engageSubsea, which is especially valuable in the current environment where travel and site visits are restricted, but inspection work remains critical, engageSubsea can help to bridge that gap.
“Ultimately, this solution is about optimizing offshore operations and reducing unnecessary exposure to risk – whether the pre-existing hazards of offshore work or the current pandemic”.
The platform can be used in any location, both onshore and offshore, even with a low bandwidth connection.
Baker Hughes is looking to expand its use of engageSubsea in additional locations and for further use cases, the company noted.
