Repsol Norge, a Norwegian multi-energy company has entered into a contract with Vissim to deploy an advanced oil spill detection system at the Yme Field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
The new system, which will be installed on the Inspirer production jackup in the eastern Norwegian North Sea, utilizes Vissim’s image processing technology to detect smaller oil spills.
Additionally, machine learning is employed to classify detected phenomena, reducing the risk of false alarms associated with radar-based oil spill detection systems.
This upgraded oil spill detection system aligns with Norway’s regulations, requiring technologies that operate independently of weather conditions.
