最新合同签订仅三个月前，Equinor 订购了 ROCS，用于其位于英国设得兰群岛西部的 Rosebank 油田。

Optime Subsea 的 ROCS 消除了对脐带缆和上部液压控制单元的需求，脐带缆传统上将地面连接到海床，用于控制海底完井中的油管悬挂器。这项创新不仅降低了成本，还减少了这些操作所需的甲板空间。

利用 ROCS 还可以带来 HSE 效益，因为该系统减少了钻机红色区域对人员的需求。此外，它还通过更快的安装和海底完井作业提供运营和财务效益。这种创新方法对于 Irpa 等深水油田具有特殊价值。

Optime Subsea 首席执行官 Jan-Fredrik Carlsen 表示：“我们发现 ROCS 正逐渐成为完井作业的新标准，因为与传统系统相比，ROCS 的资本支出、运营支出大幅降低，环境足迹也更小。”

Optime Subsea 将在公司位于挪威诺托登的总部制造这两个 ROCS 系统，并于 2025 年将其交付给 Equinor 位于挪威北部 Sandnessjen 的海上基地。 Optime Subsea 尚未透露该合同的价值。

Equinor 将使用一套系统进行 Irpa 计划于 2026 年完成的完井作业，而另一套系统将作为备用系统。

Irpa 气田原名 Asterix，位于挪威海约 1350 m 深处，距挪威北部 Bodase 近海 340 公里。Irpa 将作为 Aasta Hansteen FPSO 的配套进行开发。

“一月份，当我们获得 Rosebank 油田的 ROCS 证书时，我们表示希望这标志着 Optime Subsea 和 Equinor 之间激动人心的合作的开始。我们期待在 Irpa 油田开发中证明 ROCS 带来的诸多优势，并与 Equinor 就另一个项目进行合作。”Optime Subsea 首席创新官 Trond Lasekka 说道。

The latest award comes only three months after Equinor ordered a ROCS for use at its Rosebank field, west of Shetland, UK.

Optime Subsea's ROCS eliminates the need for both the umbilical, which traditionally connects the surface to the seabed for controlling the tubing hanger in subsea well completions, and the topside hydraulic control unit. This innovation not only cuts costs but also reduces the amount of deck space required for these operations.

Utilising ROCS also creates HSE benefits as the system reduces the need for personnel in the red zone on the rig. Further, it provides operational and financial benefits through faster installation and subsea well completion operations. This innovative approach holds particular value for deepwater fields such as Irpa.

“We are seeing that ROCS is gradually becoming the new standard for well completion operations due to substantially lower capex, opex and smaller environmental footprint compared to conventional systems,” says Jan-Fredrik Carlsen, CEO of Optime Subsea.

Optime Subsea will manufacture the two ROCS systems at the company’s headquarter in Notodden, Norway, and deliver them to Equinor’s offshore base at Sandnessjøen in North Norway in 2025. Optime Subsea has not disclosed the value of the contract.

Equinor will use one system for a well completion campaign at Irpa that is planned for 2026, while the other will be a back-up system.

Irpa, formerly called Asterix, is a gas field located at a depth of approximately 1350 m in the Norwegian Sea, 340 km offshore Bodø, North Norway. Irpa will be developed as a tie-in to the Aasta Hansteen FPSO.

“We said in January, when we were awarded the ROCS for the Rosebank field, that we hoped that this marked the beginning of an exciting collaboration between Optime Subsea and Equinor. We look forward to proving the many benefits ROCS bring at the Irpa field development, and to cooperating with Equinor on another project,” says Trond Løkka, Chief Innovation Officer at Optime Subsea.
