Digital integration
Advanced, digital capability flows through FourPhase. We use data to power our thinking. This has enabled us to transform our sector, with the first fully automated solids separation systems. Being driven by data through digital integration is paramount in delivering world-leading technology.
Digitally-led automated solutions
FourPhase technology captures operations-critical data, by design. This has allowed us to build up the world’s largest solids management database. By delivering the first automated solids management system with remote operation capabilities, we completely eliminated traditionally labour-intensive manual operations. This includes valve actuation, the flushing of pressure vessels and the weighing of removed solids.
Virtual analysis and design, real world benefits
At our headquarters in Bergen, Norway, we use the latest dynamic simulation techniques to replicate any solids production scenario. We combine this with digital twin technology to design and test our solutions to demonstrate anticipated results. This lean planning during the front-end engineering phase results in highly efficient execution, supported by virtual factory acceptance tests via video link.
Digital from the inside out
FourPhase is a digital-first organisation. From the RFID driven logistics centre that coordinates our inventory and operations, through to 3D modelling and testing, and our connected technology – we’re a digital powerhouse. Our advanced digital capabilities and insight allow us to remain at the cutting edge – and gives our customers the best possible experience.
Working with FourPhase
Safety driven
Automation and remote operation reduces risk and potential for human error. With FourPhase technology, there are fewer Personnel On Board (POB) – and all operation and sequencing is automated. At the same time, monitoring can be carried out onshore, by multiple experts, at our Operations and Technology Centre.
Remote capabilities
Total integration
Using OPCUA, FourPhase technology interfaces easily with existing digital enterprise ecosystems. This is achieved by integrating with the platform’s control system, the Data Historian or other third party interfaces. It’s robust – with system-critical data processed locally, ensuring operations continue, even if links to central processing are lost. There’s also manual back-up.
Data driven operations
Digital empowerment
FourPhase technology is being used proactively by organisations who have discovered the value of making solids management a KPI. Operated continuously, the FourPhase system has added tens of millions of dollars of value, per year, per well.
