Proserv bags contract from Aker Solutions to supply MPSU for Brage platform

Aberdeen-headquartered Proserv, renowned for its advanced controls technology, has announced a significant contract win with Aker Solutions, securing a six-figure deal to supply a Multiphase Sampling Unit (MPSU) for the Brage platform, operated by OKEA ASA in offshore Norway. This partnership is expected to strengthen Proserv’s position in the energy sector and enhance the capabilities of Aker Solutions in delivering efficient, reliable solutions for offshore operations.

Proserv’s Multiphase Sampling Unit (MPSU) is a compact, innovative, and cost-efficient solution for circumstances where frequent separator sampling is impractical. The MPSU has been engineered to meet Brage platform’s specific requirements, promising enhanced operational efficiency by reducing manual intervention, optimizing sampling accuracy, and minimizing equipment downtime, while simultaneously driving down costs. The unit facilitates selective phase sampling directly from multiphase flowlines in cases where production test separators are unavailable, providing a continuous, repeatable sampling mechanism in a compact footprint. This unique capability makes it highly suitable for complex offshore environments, where space is limited and operational efficiency is crucial.

Proserv’s advanced sampling technology offers several key benefits, including reduced maintenance requirements, increased reliability, and improved safety for operators. By employing this innovative solution, operators can achieve better accuracy in phase sampling, which ultimately leads to more informed decision-making regarding production strategies. The compact nature of the MPSU also allows it to be easily integrated into existing infrastructure, minimizing disruption and maximizing efficiency. Furthermore, Proserv’s expertise in controls technology ensures that the MPSU delivers consistent performance, even in challenging offshore conditions.

Angus Rodger, Vice President of Services at Proserv, stated that the partnership with Aker Solutions and OKEA underscores Proserv’s ability to offer high-quality, custom-designed solutions that cater to the distinct needs of its clients. Rodger highlighted that the MPSU not only provides a lightweight and space-saving alternative but also guarantees cost-effective operations. He added, “We are thrilled to support Aker Solutions and OKEA on the Brage platform, and we look forward to delivering the unit by December 2025.” Rodger also emphasized the importance of collaboration in the energy sector, noting that working closely with industry partners like Aker Solutions and OKEA allows Proserv to continually refine and enhance its technology, ensuring that it meets the evolving needs of offshore operations.

Aker Solutions, a major player in the global energy industry, focuses on enabling low-carbon oil and gas production while developing renewable energy solutions. The company has a workforce of around 11,000 across more than 15 countries and is committed to accelerating the energy transition by integrating innovative digital solutions with reliable project execution. Aker Solutions has been at the forefront of developing technologies that reduce the carbon footprint of oil and gas operations, while simultaneously investing in renewable energy projects, such as offshore wind and hydrogen production. By partnering with companies like Proserv, Aker Solutions aims to provide comprehensive, integrated solutions that support the energy industry’s transition towards a more sustainable future.

This contract marks a significant milestone for Proserv, as it further solidifies the company’s reputation as a leading provider of cutting-edge sampling technology. The successful delivery of the MPSU to the Brage platform will not only enhance the operational capabilities of OKEA but also demonstrate the value of Proserv’s technology in real-world applications. Both companies are confident that this collaboration will lead to improved efficiency and reduced costs, ultimately contributing to the long-term success of the Brage platform.

In addition to the MPSU contract, Proserv continues to expand its portfolio of innovative solutions aimed at addressing the challenges faced by the energy industry. The company remains committed to investing in research and development to ensure that its products meet the highest standards of quality and performance. By focusing on delivering tailored solutions that address the specific needs of its clients, Proserv aims to play a key role in shaping the future of the energy sector. As the industry continues to evolve, Proserv’s expertise and commitment to innovation will be critical in helping operators navigate the complexities of offshore production and achieve their sustainability goals.
