As one of Norway’s leading independent oil and gas companies, Aker BP is actively shaping the future of the energy sector. By strategically leveraging cutting-edge technologies, the company enhances the efficiency and sustainability of its offshore operations. A prime example of this commitment is the Yggdrasil development project, a true milestone for the industry.
Yggdrasil goes more digital with Engineering Base
With Yggdrasil, Aker BP is setting a new standard through remote operations, periodically unmanned installations, low activity set offshore and new technology. The Yggdrasil project also exemplifies how digitalization is transforming the offshore industry. The Yggdrasil operations strategy requires a reliable and seamlessly integrated data infrastructure—and this is where AUCOTEC plays a key role.
As part of the Yggdrasil digital infrastructure, the Engineering Base platform enables a fully integrated, data-driven workflow. This approach minimizes errors, optimizes workflows, and significantly enhances operational performance. Even after project completion, the resulting as-built data model ensures efficient long-term operation and continuous optimization.
Seamless integration for maximum efficiency
A key advantage of this approach is the seamless integration of Engineering Base with Aker BP’s existing Cognite Data Fusion platform. This connection unites engineering and operational data into a single, always up-to-date source of truth.
Lars-Erik Ydstie, Vice President Digital Yggdrasil at Aker BP, highlights the importance of this project: „Availability of data is an important basis for the Yggdrasil operations strategy. Engineering Base will serve as a foundational solution supporting both life cycle information (LCI) and engineering data, thus driving operational excellence. We are moving from exchanging documents with contractors, which is standard today, to seamlessly exchanging structured and rich data formats without loss of quality. And by doing so, setting a new industry standard. AUCOTEC and its ready-to-deploy functionality in Engineering Base empowers us to centralize and optimize engineering data immediately.“
Uwe Vogt, Executive Board Member at AUCOTEC, also underlines the project’s significance: „We are proud to support Aker BP in this groundbreaking project. Engineering Base demonstrates how proven, data-driven solutions can transform the energy and process industries.“
A milestone for the energy industry
By combining connected data and automation, the Yggdrasil project optimizes operational processes and establishes a future-proof foundation for the industry. Engineering Base plays a key role in this transformation, showcasing how datadriven innovation is shaping the future of energy.
