Client: Global Maritime

Context: Global Maritime is a marine, offshore and engineering consultancy that specializes in marine warranty, dynamic positioning and engineering services. In the context of a project located in Asia, Global Maritime needed details of the extreme conditions of waves and wind at their location of interest.

Challenge:  Global Maritime needed extreme value analysis on wind and wave historical conditions in a region affected by cyclones.

Solution: Open Ocean has produced the extreme value analysis for the location of interest based on the innovative RFA analysis methodology developed internally, which allows for more accurate extreme values estimate in regions affected by superstorms such as cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons.

Client: GEOCEAN

Context: Geocean is a French marine construction company, owned by Entrepose (Vinci group). Within the scope of a pipeline laying project offshore Cameroon, the company required ocean currents data and statistics.

Challenge:  GEOCEAN needed ocean currents data and statistics in a remote nearshore location offshore Cameroon in a short timeframe.

Solution: Open Ocean has performed a tailored numerical simulation which allowed to provide all necessary data and with respect to the customer’s deadline.

Client: Aibel

Context: Aibel is one of Norway’s leading service companies and a turnkey supplier of oil, gas and renewable energy projects. The company is specialized in engineering, construction, upgrading and maintenance solutions.

Challenge:  Aibel needed to get a global overview of the metocean conditions.

Solution: Open Ocean has provided Aibel with an access to the Metocean Analytics solution. Thanks to the interactive maps of ocean currents, waves, wind, seawater temperature and bathymetry, integrated in Metocean Analytics, Aibel obtained the information they needed in just a few clicks.

Client: Scaldis

Context: Scaldis is a company specialized in marine heavy lifting and installation operations for the offshore oil & gas and renewable energy sectors.

Challenge:  For the planning of offshore operations on an oil & gas infrastructure in the North Sea, Scaldis needed a quick overview of historical metocean condition and historical weather windows. 

Solution: Open Ocean has provided Scaldis with an access to the Metocean Discover solution. With Metocean Discover, Scaldis obtained directly online an overview of the wind, wave and ocean current conditions at the point of interest for their project. The weather windows tool available through Metocean Discover allowed Scaldis to plan their offshore operations with respect to their vessels capabilities.

Client: DORIS Engineering

Context: DORIS Engineering is a company specialized in engineering design for offshore energy projects in the renewables and oil&gas sectors. 

Challenge:  For the design of an offshore structure located in Europe, Doris Engineering needed wind, wave, and ocean current data and statistics with a strong time constraint.

Solution: Open Ocean has provided DORIS Engineering with an access to the Metocean Analytics solution. With Metocean Analytics, DORIS Engineering obtained directly online in just a few clicks all the wind, wave, and ocean current data and statistics required to specify the design parameters of the future offshore structure. 

Client: SBM Offshore

Context: SBM Offshore is a company specialized in engineering design and installation for offshore energy projects in the oil&gas and renewable energy sectors. 

Challenge: For the installation planning of an offshore structure located in Europe, SBM Offshore needed a quick access to the historical metocean conditions as well as historical weather windows at the offshore site of interest.

Solution: Open Ocean has provided SBM Offshore with an access to the Metocean Analytics solution. With Metocean Analytics, SBM Offshore obtained directly online a complete characterization of their site of interest including wind, wave, and ocean current statistics. They also obtained historical weather windows and downtime estimate taking in account the specific constraints of the vessel to be involved. From this information, they were able to easily plan the future offshore operations.

Customer: GEOCEAN

Context: Geocean Entrepose is a French marine construction company, owned by Vinci. Within the scope of a project off Peruvian coast, the firm required wave data and statistics. Open Ocean provided all the required information.

Challenge: GEOCEAN needed wave data and statistics in a remote location offshore Peru on short notice.

Solution: Open Ocean provided wave statistics for the location of interest using existing database from its extensive catalogue.

Customer: Tulip Oil

Context: Tulip Oil is developing an oil field offshore The Netherlands and required knowledge of the metocean conditions on site.

Challenge: Tulip Oil required the metocean statistics to be provided in a promptly manner due to upcoming project deadlines.

Solution: Open Ocean was able to respond to Tulip Oil's demand providing site characterization with average conditions and extreme values in a timely manner.
