Case studies

At Innova we thrive with challenges given by our customers. Our teams have been involved in more than 100 projects to help our customers and partners solve problems and overcome challenges. Here are some highlights of customer-driven projects.

Fluid Sampling Skid

In spring 2024 Innova delivered Fluid sampling skid, which was co-developed with our customer. The skid is a stand-alone subsea skid designed to take samples from up to 6 wells and separate the phase to obtain pure water samples for further analysis in laboratory. The customer requires to perform ion- and residual scale inhibitor analyse…

FlyWOCS 

 Innova designed, assembled and tested the FlyWOCS, starting with the concept phase and ending with mobilization and operational support. The skid involved multidiscipline effort, including mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and software engineering. Standard Innova components were vital in the design, though some propriety solutions were needed to create a fully seamless solution.   The system is powered…
