At the occasion of the 2023 Offshore Technology Conference in Brazil, SBM Offshore announced the launch of its digital solutions platform, SBM+, designed for offshore asset management.
Smart Services Product Line Director, Gilles Duchesne, presented the platform at the SBM Offshore booth during the exhibition, opening the floor to live demonstrations and questions from visitors during the three-day event.
SBM+ is aimed at delivering services based on solutions currently deployed and tested on SBM Offshore’s own fleet of 16 assets, enabling the organization to continuously learn. The pioneering platform represents a shift in unlocking the full potential of data to transform offshore asset operations by empowering clients to optimize the performance of their own assets, leveraging a proven track record, industry expertise, an operational framework, and innovative digital solutions.
“Our solutions are organized under 3 main products: Connect, Predict and Elev8. They range from energy efficiency management, reducing carbon footprint of offshore assets, to artificial intelligence agents, monitoring specific systems and asset integrity services” said Mr. Duchesne in his address to attendees. “SBM Offshore is reinforcing its role as an energy transition company to optimize the integrity, reliability, and production of offshore operations, with sustainability at the core of what we do.”
Chief Operating Officer, Øivind Tangen, in attendance of the launch in Rio commented:
“Over the past several years, we have been diligently investing in data-driven lifecycle optimization capabilities to transform the way we run our business. The launch of SBM+ represents a new phase for SBM [Offshore], where the combination of our industrial knowledge is embedded in scalable digital tools to become an important value creation platform. This is not only for our own operations, but also for other oil and gas operators with the ambition to optimize the cost and performance of the life of their assets. We’re sharing our experience to make that happen.”
