Offshore operations and assets

Drilling rigs, floating production units and offshore vessels are all supplied by various owners and operators to the oil and gas companies under different shelf state regimes. These owners and operators thus need to understand and adapt to the business framework set out by oil and gas companies. DNV supports you and your suppliers in your endeavours to develop, build, modify and operate assets.

Challenges

The current focus particularly on reducing costs and increasing oil field safety is putting increased pressure on players in the offshore industry. The classification and advisory services from DNV aim to relieve this pressure by providing support in:

• Regulatory compliance (class, continental shelf, flag requirements)
• Contractual compliance (operator requirements)
• Total cost of operation (CAPEX, OPEX, revenue)
• Production regularity (uptime, capacity)
• Mobilisation (new charter, scheduled shutdown)
