As the economics of offshore energy permanently change, success increasingly depends on autonomy not just as a distant vision. Rather, autonomy is now seen 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.
Rather than focusing solely on futuristic gadgets, they share their journey of building an integrated alliance. This alliance is used to execute a highly resilient, remote-first operational strategy. By treating autonomy as the core of their new operating model, they have created a foundation. This foundation enables continuous situational awareness without adding personnel to hazardous environments.
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.”
