HOUSTON – ExxonMobil has contracted TechnipFMC and Halliburton to supply their Odassea subsea downhole fiber optic sensing system for the Payara project in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana.
This follows the completion of front-end engineering and design studies and qualifications. The system has also been selected for an OTC Spotlight on New Technology award.
Trey Clark, vice president of Halliburton Wireline and Perforating, said: “By collaborating with TechnipFMC, we combine our sensing and subsea expertise to enhance reservoir insight and to lower the total cost of ownership for our customers.”
Odassea is said to integrate hardware and digital systems to improve subsea reservoir monitoring and production optimization. Halliburton is responsible for the fiber optic sensing technology and analysis for reservoir diagnostics, while TechnipFMC provides the optical connectivity from the topsides to the completions.
The overall service is said to allow operators to speed up full-field subsea fiber optic sensing, design, and execution.
Payara, 200 km (124 mi) offshore Guyana in 1,800 m (5,905 ft) of water, is the third development on the Stabroek block.
TechnipFMC and Halliburton are delivering Odassea solutions to various other subsea projects, from conceptual design to execution.
