en.Wedoany.com Reported - Aker BP and DeepOcean have successfully completed an advanced subsea operation for the first time via a remote control center at the Idun Nord field in the Skarv area of the Norwegian Sea, without key personnel needing to go offshore.

This task, which typically requires a full offshore operation cycle of up to 14 days, was completed in approximately 12 hours, fully controlled from a remote operations center in Haugesund.

The operation involved stabilizing the wellbore by filling it with gravel, a typical inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) task. Traditionally, such operations require personnel to go offshore aboard a support vessel.

During this operation, engineers did not need to leave the shore. From the Remote Operations Center (ROC) in Haugesund, the team coordinated activities on the Dina Star vessel in real time. The actual subsea work was performed by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), also controlled from shore. The Dina Star vessel was initially mobilized to the Skarv area for seabed mapping, not for intervention tasks.
