| Popis: |
The supplier of the Ekofisk fibre-optic PRM system (Optoplan) has recently been acquired by the global leader for subsea fibre-optic telecommunication systems (Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks or ASN). It is expected that this merger will impact the PRM marketplace. The Ekofisk PRM system has clearly demonstrated the benefits that PRM technology can bring to subsurface teams through generating high quality 4D images. Nevertheless, the general acceptance of PRM technology by oil companies is slower than expected by the PRM community due to various financial and organizational barriers. In particular, PRM projects are considered to be costly, complicated and time consuming to implement. The entry of ASN into this market together with Optoplan will reduce or eliminate some of the existing barriers by offering full turnkey solutions for equipment manufacturing and installation and by leveraging a successful telecom culture. The resulting business model introduced to the PRM marketplace is discussed. |
