Oil field service companies Halliburton and TechnipFMC have introduced a distributed acoustic sensing solution for subsea wells called Odassea, which is said to help operators in executing intervention-less seismic imaging and reservoir diagnostics to bring down the total cost of ownership while enhancing reservoir knowledge.

By integrating hardware and digital systems, the Odassea service is claimed to bolster digital capabilities in subsea reservoir monitoring and production optimization.

While Halliburton is offering the fiber optic sensing technology, completions and analysis for reservoir diagnostics, its partner TechnipFMC is providing the optical connectivity from the topside to the completions. Through the partnership, operators can speed up full field subsea fiber optic sensing, design, and execution, said TechnipFMC.

Trey Clark – Halliburton Wireline and Perforating Vice President said: “We are excited to introduce a new technology platform which allows our customers to monitor reservoir performance in real-time.

“By collaborating with TechnipFMC, we can harness our combined subsurface and subsea expertise to deliver differentiated products to the marketplace that provide value for our customers.”

In the field, TechnipFMC is working alongside Halliburton to offer solutions with the technology to various subsea projects at all stages from conceptual design to implementation and installation.

Christina Johansen – TechnipFMC Subsea Product Management Control & Automation Vice President said: “This project enables an enhanced level of reservoir understanding for our customers and expands our unique integrated subsea solution.

“We are proving that we can leverage the competencies and know-how to drive the change our industry needs for a higher level of sustainability.”
