HORTEN, Norway—Vissim will develop an expanded digital platform for future oil spill monitoring and a detection system for Aker BP for use on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, under a two-year contract.
The company will devise a software that integrates input from a number of different oil spill detection sources, including radars, satellites and sensors on subsea production equipment, combining them into a single, easy-to-understand visual overview.
It will provide a 24/7 real-time visual overview of all Aker BP’s oil spill monitoring and detection tools and systems, according to Håvard Odden, director of Vissim’s North Sea operations.
The software system will also integrate meteorological data to allow Aker BP to plan for compensating measures connected to its offshore operations.
Vissim’s oil spill detection system is based on its OCEAN data platform that enables artificial intelligence and machine learning.
