Fact box – Digital solutions on Johan Sverdrup

Equinor estimates that more than NOK 2 billion has been saved during Johan Sverdrup’s first year on stream by adopting digital solutions. The gains derive primarily from the following:

• Higher stable production as a result of automated production optimisation and more effective start-up of wells. Collaborating with integrated operation centres on land to optimise production and remove restrictions.
  
  
• Improved subsurface understanding as a result of better and more complex data sets, which provide more information on the reservoir.
  
  
• Improved operation and maintenance because of stable production and implementation of "digital fieldwork". This means that operators on the facilities use tablets and digital twins of the installation in their day-to-day work [25].
