Kongsberg Maritime Inc., the North American division of Kongsberg Maritime, and Stress Engineering Services (SES) have formed a strategic alliance.
The aim of the alliance is to better serve existing and new clients with cost effective engineering services and fully integrated technical solutions within offshore drilling and floating production systems.
Kongsberg Maritime and Stress Engineering Services will together improve and develop new functionality for the Kongsberg real time riser management system (RMS) with focus on riser and wellhead fatigue in addition to enabling improved efficiency of drilling and workover operations.
Stress Engineering Services will provide enabling technology such as their subsea vibration data loggers (SVDL) and realtime fatigue monitoring system (RFMS) to assess riser and wellhead fatigue.
Kongsberg Maritime and Stress Engineering Services will also cooperate in the area of floating production systems.
Kongsberg ‘s experience within the design and analysis of flexible riser and umbilical systems will be combined with SES’ riser expertise within floating production systems for both green field and brown field applications.
