Norway’s Aptomar has been awarded a contract with French supermajor Total’s regional division to provide digital environmental monitoring and oil spill detection at its historic Martin Linge field.
The Trondheim based technology firm will provide a tactical collaboration and management system (TCMS) to digitalize and manage the processes.
Aptomar’s system will combine subsea, topside and aerial oil spill detection sensors into one common operating picture (COP).
The purpose of this de is to provide an overview of all available sensor information in relevance for prevention, detection and monitoring of hydrocarbon leakage to sea, all in the same surveillance interface.
According to Aptomar, the digitalization of the environmental monitoring on Martin Linge will ensure efficient and robust oil spill detection achieved at a lower cost than using conventional methods.
Håkon Skjelten, chief executive officer, said: “Aptomar’s TCMS system has been a preferred solution for operator’s on NCS during a decade.
“The solution is a part of the digitalization strategy on Martin Linge and will provide Total with a powerful decision support tool for oil spill detection and combating, search and rescue, firefighting, surveillance and security, by integrating real time data from many different sources into one decision support system.”
The Martin Linge field in the North Sea was discovered in 1975. The field is located 42km west of Oseberg, at a water depth of 115 metres.
