Subsea Infrastructure: Growing investments in subsea pipelines and facilities.
Subsea infrastructure refers to the entire network of equipment, pipelines, and systems that make up an underwater production field. It includes not only the well-related components but also the extensive network of flowlines and risers that transport the produced oil and gas from the seabed to the surface.
This infrastructure is a key enabler of modern offshore exploration and production, allowing companies to tap into reserves that were previously inaccessible. The shift towards subsea infrastructure has been a major trend in the industry, as it can reduce the need for large, expensive surface platforms and allows for the development of smaller, satellite fields that can be tied back to existing production facilities. The long-term integrity and maintenance of this infrastructure are of critical importance, requiring specialized inspection, repair, and monitoring technologies.
