Introduction
Oil and gas companies are constantly
moving exploration and production
resources into new frontiers, which
makes engineering designs more
challenging. Complex processes and
advanced technology is required to
start new developments, improve Description
production and to extract more products Through the Kongsberg lifecycle concept, a D-SPICE process model can
from the worlds oil and gas reserves. be used in every phase of a project. A key contribution to several Kongsberg
