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.

ConocoPhilips Service Manipulator

The Service Manipulator is a service tool for handling of choke valves at Ekofisk 2/4x. The Service Manipulator is custom designed to meet the special requirements of the Conoco Philips EKO-X Platform. Restricted access and an active production area demanded safe and efficient handling equipment. A nearby overhead crane traveling along the valves was utilised…

Pulse Monitoring System

The Pulse Monitoring System is an adaptation of the SeaDAQ subsea data logger technology to measure flow induced pressure pulses in a subsea pipeline. The pressure pulse can be identified by measuring the expansion of the pipe in the radial direction – almost like measuring the pulse through a blood vessel. However, unlike the human…

RTS III

RTS III is the third generation of the Remote Tie-in System operated by Aker Solutions. Innova designed and manufactured the electro-hydraulic control system for the RTS III, replacing the older, PLC-based control system used on RTS I and II. Based on Innova’s modular subsea controller technology, the RTS III control system i a far more…

RLWI Subsea hydraulic pump

The ability to provide local hydraulic fluid power is an important feature for enabling all-electric subsea well control and intervention applications. Fluid power is required for e.g. grease injection, chemical injection or valve actuation, and the fluid media can be water based or other chemicals with different viscosity and chemical properties. Innova’s subsea electrical motor…

Reactive Flex Joint

The Reactive Flex Joint (RFJ) is developed by FMC in cooperation with Statoil to reduce fatigue on wellheads. The flexjoint is landed on the BOP, and is designed to provide a counter-acting force to the bending moment applied on the wellhead by the riser load on the BOP. The counter-acting force is generated by the…

Aircraft Warning Markers

We have successfully installed warning markers on energized power lines. The qualification program for live-line operation has been completed. Innova AS has been assigned a contract by Statnett for development of a robotic tool for installation of Aircraft Warning Markers, AWM, on high-voltage power lines. The robot is designed for autonomous installation of AWM onto…

Remote Offloading System

Sunken ships and vessels may contain oil and chemicals that are harmful to the environment. FRAMO’s Remote OffLoading System (ROLS) is designed to drain sunken vessels for harmful chemicals, eliminating the risk for spills. The ROLS is a free-flying ROV incorporating a drill and offloading system for penetrating vessel hulls and pumping out chemicals, operating via an electro-hydraulic control and communication system provided by Innova.
