"This should give us improved precision in our well locations, help us better control production and injection, but should also contribute with information about the condition of wells and subsea infrastructure – which is critical for a field with a 50-year lifespan." The initiative should also serve as a basis for future recovery initiatives on the field such as infill wells, water and gas injection, and digitalization. Statoil has awarded Alcatel Submarine Networks a frame agreement that also includes opportunities for future collaboration on technology development, other solutions to maximize the potential from the PRM system, and an option to extend seismic coverage to include the southernmost part of the Johan Sverdrup field. PRM was also stipulated by the Norwegian authorities for the Sverdrup plan for development and operation. Statoil has previous experience with PRM on the Snorre and Grane fields in the North Sea. 01/17/2018
