Seabed compression in a smaller package

Less than 18 months after pioneering subsea gas compression technology debuted at Statoil’s Aasgard field, the system’s engineers are ready to roll out a second-generation version

Future field: a rendering depicts one of the two trains that make up Asgard’s subsea compression system (left) alongside an illustration of the technology’s second generation. The next system will maintain the same functionality but will be less than half the size and weight, and will fit inside a standard four-slot production template Image: AKER SOLUTIONS
