The Norwegian Oil Company Aker Signed a Special “Data Release” Contract as the Company Intensifies the Digitalization of Its Operations Abroad
Aker BP signed a new intelligent service contract for “data release” that will change the traditional maintenance approach developed by the multinational. A major example of this new technology is the Ivar Aasen platform in the North Sea, which provides Aker BP with more than just oil; it also transmits large volumes of data to the shore. The platform is now among the most advanced in the world. Aker BP’s Vice President of Technology and Digitalization, Lars Atle Andersen, stated: “Aker BP’s vision is to digitalize all our operations. The key elements are transforming business models and activities through digital technologies and releasing data flows. The intelligent service contract with Framo and Cognite is an important milestone in this journey and supports our ambition to lead offshore digitalization.”
Digitalization in the Offshore Market
Aker BP will continue to digitalize its offshore operations, and the company’s goal is to complete all profitable development projects, even at oil prices below $35 per barrel. The Cognite data platform is an essential enabler for these ambitions. Cognite releases and organizes Aker BP’s industrial data to create a digital representation of the industrial reality in real time. It allows Aker BP to extract useful insights from its operations, but also to share its data and insights with partners like Framo and enable new services and business models.
