Transforming Offshore Operations with Robotics and Autonomy

As the economics of offshore energy permanently change, success increasingly depends on autonomy not just as a distant vision, but as a practical operating model. In this session, Anja Dyb of Aker Solutions and Michelle Williams of Aker BP present a compelling case for remote, digital, and autonomous operations. These models ensure long-term competitiveness and safety.

This presentation explores how they are designing the $12 billion Yggdrasil development for zero-to-low manning with just 42 cabins. Additionally, it covers achievements like the inaugural remote-controlled offshore resident drone flight and unrestricted BVLOS certification.

“Autonomy isn’t a distant vision anymore. It’s becoming the operating model for the next generation of offshore energy.”
