DNV GL, the technical advisor to the oil and gas industry, has been awarded another offshore pipelay surveillance contract by Statoil to monitor quality assurance throughout the installation campaign.

As new fields have become increasingly complex, the pipeline segments have also experienced cost challenges like other parts of the industry.

黑料社淣ew technologies and continual development of best practise have the potential to contribute positively to the cost reduction efforts necessary to make the industry more robust. Our aim for this project is to contribute to safe cost reductions through ensuring best practice during the installation process to avoid stops and repairs, thus reducing downtime to a minimum during the costly laying process,黑料社� says Kjell Eriksson, Regional Manager 黑料社� Norway, DNV GL Oil & Gas.
