Aker Solutions
From Aberdeen at the heart of the UK supply chain, Aker Solutions supports UKCS operators to produce safely, efficiently, and competitively.
We deliver end‑to‑end engineering, maintenance and life‑cycle services for North Sea and UK assets, supercharged by remote operations, digital twins, AI‑driven engineering, and autonomous drones and robotics.
By shifting work onshore and automating inspection, monitoring and decision‑making, we reduce offshore exposure, maximise uptime and lower costs.
The result is reduced costs, safer people, smarter operations, and longer‑lasting assets, digitally enabled, delivered through a strong UK supply chain, and built for the future of the UKCS across the full asset lifecycle, from EPC and integrity management to O&M, subsea engineering, hook‑up and commissioning.
Presentation Synopsis
This presentation showcases how Aker Solutions supports the UKCS through the practical application of remote, digital, and autonomous technologies tailored for late‑life operations and ageing offshore assets. It focuses on solutions that are already delivering tangible value in day‑to‑day operations across mature fields.
The session highlights how data, advanced analytics, AI, drones, robotics, and extended reality are being applied to inspection, integrity management, engineering and emissions monitoring to reduce operating costs, cut offshore hours, and minimise mobilisation requirements, while sustaining safe, reliable production.
With a strong emphasis on late‑life operations and decommissioning readiness, the presentation demonstrates how optimised inspection strategies, remote integrity assessments, autonomous inspection, and structural health monitoring can extend asset life, reduce inspection and maintenance OPEX, and lower risk on ageing infrastructure.
From digital twins and visioneering to lifecycle carbon and emissions insights, the session shows how operators can optimise integrity management, reduce offshore exposure, improve decision‑making, and future‑proof late‑life assets, to deliver safe, lean operations and enable more efficient decommissioning tomorrow.
