Aker BP has teamed up with know-how supplier Vissim to undertake an upgraded oil spill detection resolution throughout its key offshore installations. 

Ivar Aasen platform; Supply: Aker BP

Set to be put in at Aker BP’s main services, together with Valhall, Ula, Edvard Grieg, Ivar Aasen, Alvheim, and Skarv, this upgraded, radar-based oil spill detection system makes use of upgraded picture processing know-how that’s stated to allow a lot increased sensitivity.

In line with Vissim, this allows the answer to detect even smaller oil spills. 

One other function of this new system is its integration of machine studying to precisely classify detected phenomena. This development addresses a longstanding subject in radar-based oil spill detection – the prevalence of false alarms. By considerably decreasing these pointless alarms, the system guarantees to alleviate stress on operators and improve response effectivity, in line with Vissim.

Håvard Odden, Director of Vissim’s North Sea operations, highlighted the twin advantages of the answer: “The brand new resolution has resulted in increased sensitivity, which implies that smaller spills will probably be detected however much less false alarms. It additionally re-uses {hardware} that’s already put in offshore and onshore, thereby protecting capital investments to a minimal. It’s a win-win for everybody concerned.”

The 2-in-one resolution combines vessel monitoring and oil spill detection, utilizing the identical radar unit. Enhanced sensitivity in picture processing can be stated to make the system much less liable to false alarms triggered by elements like heavy rain or vessel wake.

As beforehand reported, Aker BP appointed Vissim to develop an expanded digital platform (dashboard) for oil spill monitoring and detection. This resolution integrates enter from a number of detection sources, together with radars, satellites, sensors on subsea manufacturing gear, and combines them into one, full and easy-to-understand visible overview.
