Oil industry firm Halliburton Company and oil and gas engineering company TechnipFMC have introduced Odassea, a distributed acoustic sensing solution for subsea wells. The technology platform reportedly enables oil rig operators to execute intervention-less seismic imaging and reservoir diagnostics to reduce total cost of ownership while improving oil and gas reservoir knowledge.

The Odassea service integrates hardware and digital systems to strengthen digital capabilities in subsea oil and gas reservoir monitoring and production optimization. Halliburton supplies the fiber optic sensing technology, completions and analysis for reservoir diagnostics while TechnipFMC supplies the optical connectivity from the topside to the completions. Through the collaboration, operators can accelerate full field subsea fiber optic sensing, design and execution.

“We are excited to introduce a new technology platform which allows our customers to monitor reservoir performance in real-time,” said Trey Clark, vice president of Halliburton Wireline and Perforating. “By collaborating with TechnipFMC, we can harness our combined subsurface and subsea expertise to deliver differentiated products to the marketplace that provide value for our customers.”

“This project enables an enhanced level of reservoir understanding for our customers and expands our unique integrated subsea solution,” said Christina Johansen, vice president of TechnipFMC Subsea Product Manufacturing. ”We are proving that we can leverage the competencies and know-how to drive the change our industry needs for a higher level of sustainability.”
