Aker BP Case Study: The Strategy Behind a $12 Billion Autonomous Development

As offshore energy economics evolve, autonomy is no longer a distant vision—it is the essential operating model for long-term competitiveness and safety.

Globuc recently hosted a standout session at Go Digital Energy 2026 featuring Anja Dyb, SVP Life Cycle Services, Aker Solutions, and Michelle Williams, Head of Business Transformation, Aker BP. They shared their journey of moving beyond “futuristic gadgets” to build a resilient, remote-first operational strategy.

By placing autonomy at the heart of their alliance, they have created a foundation for continuous situational awareness while removing personnel from hazardous environments.

This session covers:

  • The $12 Billion Yggdrasil Case Study: A deep dive into designing a massive development for zero-to-low manning, featuring a facility with just 42 cabins.

  • Strategic Alliances: How Aker BP and Aker Solutions bypassed traditional vendor hurdles to execute a highly resilient, integrated remote strategy.

  • Industry-First Robotics: Practical insights into the first-ever remote-controlled offshore resident drone flight and achieving unrestricted BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) certification.

  • Operational Resilience: How to maintain 24/7 situational awareness and safety without increasing on-site headcount.
