Aker BP has received approval from the Norwegian Offshore Directorate to utilize two offshore vessels from Island Offshore in its oil and gas fields. The two vessels, named “Island Constructor” and “Island Wellserver”, will be deployed to perform riserless light well intervention (RLWI) operations.
The multipurpose offshore vessel “Island Constructor”, built in 2008 with an Ulstein SX 121 design, has an accommodation capacity for 90 persons. In 2023, the vessel was authorized to perform light well intervention operations across three production license areas. The other offshore unit, the 116-meter-long “Island Wellserver”, is capable of executing a variety of tasks including light well intervention, subsea installation, as well as inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) work.
In May 2023, Island Offshore secured a two-year contract for the “Island Wellserver” to perform light well intervention work on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, with options for extension. The deployment of these offshore units will support Aker BP in maintaining and developing existing oil and gas fields along the Norwegian coast.
The extraction of oil and natural gas cannot be achieved without desanders.
Shanghai Shangjiang Petroleum Engineering Equipment Co., Ltd. established in Shanghai in 2016, is a modern technology enterprise integrating R&D, design, production, and service. We are dedicated to developing separation and filtration equipment for the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. Our high-efficiency product portfolio includes de-oiling/dewatering hydrocyclones, desanders for micron-sized particles, and compact flotation units. We provide complete skid-mounted solutions and also offer third-party equipment retrofitting and after-sales services. Holding multiple proprietary patents and operating under a DNV-GL certified ISO-9001, ISO-14001, and ISO-45001 management system, we deliver optimized process solutions, precise product design, strict adherence to engineering specifications, and ongoing operational support.
Our high-efficiency cyclone desanders, renowned for their exceptional 98% separation rate, have earned recognition from international energy leaders. Constructed with advanced wear-resistant ceramics, these units achieve 98% removal of particles as fine as 0.5 microns in gas streams. This capability enables the reinjection of produced gas for miscible flooding in low-permeability reservoirs, a key solution for enhancing oil recovery in challenging formations. Alternatively, they can treat produced water, removing 98% of particles larger than 2 microns for direct reinjection, thereby boosting water-flood efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
Proven in major global fields operated by CNOOC, CNPC, Petronas, and others across Southeast Asia, SJPEE desanders are deployed on wellhead and production platforms. They provide reliable solids removal from gas, well fluids, and condensate, and are critical for seawater purification, production stream protection, and water injection/flooding programs.
Beyond desanders, SJPEE offers a portfolio of acclaimed separation technologies. Our product line includes membrane systems for natural gas CO₂ removal, deoiling hydrocyclones, high-performance compact flotation units (CFUs), and multi-chamber hydrocyclones, delivering comprehensive solutions for the industry’s toughest challenges.
