Norway-based Aker Solutions and Swiss company ABB are set to collaborate to help improve industrial efficiency in subsea oil and gas production worldwide.

The companies will combine their strengths in subsea, power, and automation technologies to help the energy industry cut costs.

As part of the cooperation, Aker Solutions’ subsea capabilities will be integrated with ABB’s subsea power and automation system experience to bring customers flexible oil and gas production solutions.

The collaboration is also aimed at improving the way production equipment on the seafloor is powered and controlled by applications on shore or platforms.

This will help reduce costs and enable economically viable production at fields that are far offshore from existing infrastructure.

"We will help customers reduce costs by making existing subsea solutions more effective."

Aker Solutions subsea business head Alan Brunnen said: "This partnership builds on a relationship with ABB that already has a proven track record of developing groundbreaking subsea technology."
