An increased need for current modeling and real time measurement at the well site on the Norwegian Continental Shelf has arisen. This demand is driven by Klif, PSA and internal Operator expectations at both planning and operational phase.

Both cuttings discharge and oil spill response are key focus areas. The latest current modeling techniques from CLS, a French technology company with Global experience of current measurement and modeling have combined with StormGeo’s online weather forecasts to create a state of the art weather and current forecast that is easily accessible on a user-friendly web portal at the Operator’s desktop real time. In addition to advanced weather information, live and historical current information, the portal provides oil spill scenarios and spill spread maps for drifters in the event of a spill.
