Environmental Sustainability
We develop and deploy our proprietary technologies to deliver efficiencies that enable our customers to operate in a compliant and envionmentally conscious manner.
​
In 2019, approximately 30% of Norway's CO2 emissions originated from Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) petroleum activities. Production related activities using gas-driven turbines accounted for 85% of these NCS emissions, with an additional 6% of NCS emissions output from drilling rigs.
​
Use of our technologies enables our customers to construct wells more efficiently by shortening drilling times or increasing wellbore production and needing less wells per installation, all reducing the CO2 footprint of customer operations compared to traditional industry methods.

opens a new world of possibilities for downhole tools
DualLink™ is a next generation wired drill pipe, delivering high speed data telemetry and power, reliably. Connecting downhole to surface, DualLink™ improves well construction efficiencies and placement in the reservoir, opening a new world of possibilities for the next generation of downhole tools and automation.
DualLink has applications in the hydrocarbon recovery as well as alternative energy infrastructure projects.
7 - 15% reduction in emissions*
Wired drill pipe technology provides higher data rates from downhole which enables operators to assess conditions and adjust to challenges immediately.
​
The efficiencies provided by wired drill pipe lead to NPT reduction and an overall improved speed of well construction which leads to a 7% reduction in emissions.
​
Additionally, when wired drill pipe is used for Automated Drilling Control, a 15% potential gain in efficiency is achievable.
20% increase in total recovery*
During production drilling phases, wired drill pipe can increase total recovery by 20%.
Use of DualLink to improve the well placement process [either geometrically or by geo-steering] can result in improved production per well, reducing production enhancement emissions over the life of the well and requiring less wells per infrastructure needed for efficient energy recovery.
Removes need for downhole power sources
DualLink provides the ability to power tools directly from surface, removing the need for battery usage downhole.
​
Using power from DualLink to remove the need for lithium batteries also reduces the CO2 emissions involved with the specialized transport through the battery lifecycle from extraction, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics out to several drilling rigs and then eventual disposal.

expands the envelope on current drilling methods
DUALPIPE™ employs revolutionary technology that offers superior hole cleaning, improved ECD management and longer laterals drilled into the reservoir. DUALPIPE™ expands the envelope of current drilling methods, ultimately lowering delivery costs and increasing production.
DualPipe has applications in the hydrocarbon recovery as well as alternative energy infrastructure projects.
Improved ECD management
DualPipe's improved ECD management allows wells to be drilled into reservoirs whilst avoiding unplanned or excessive chemical mud loss into the formation.
Superior hole cleaning
DualPipe's superior hole cleaning creates larger cuttings that have not been ground down by the drilling assembly which leads to more efficient cuttings processing, removal and disposal.
Longer laterals and steerable liner drilling
DualPipe's longer laterals and steerable liner drilling allows for reduced casing strings per well: faster well construction time, less steel materials used, less logistics and less CO2 emissions from the rig.
