Offshore solutions
Optimized performance through integrated solutions

Wärtsilä takes full responsibility for the larger scope and the various interfaces of drilling projects.

Our worldwide service network provides lifetime support after the unit is set into operation.

Wärtsilä’s solutions for the offshore drilling market include systems for:

• Jack-up rigs 
• Well intervention units
• Semi-submersible drilling units
• Drilling ships

Our environmentally and economically sound, integrated total drilling solutions comprise a diesel electric system, engines, thrusters, electrical and automation systems, telecom and navigation, bridge controls, dynamic position system (DP), compressors, nitrogen generators , water treatment systems, exhaust gas cleaning, pumps and valves, as well as project management, system engineering and commissioning.

Wärtsilä’s reliable systems have an excellent track record. Reliability is a prerequisite for safe operations and high availability at all times. Our offshore solutions enable rigs and units to operate smoothly, even in remote areas and under the most demanding conditions.

Wärtsilä delivers superior customer value in offshore production through its :

• Early involvement and knowledgeable support
• Extensive experience and expertise in hydrodynamics
• Best-in-class products integrated into complete solutions
• Comprehensive, integrated technical solutions
• Extensive experience in project management and site support
• Global presence, offering worldwide local support and services throughout the vessel’s lifecycle

We also provide dynamic maintenance planning to optimize equipment availability and reduce operational expenditures.

Wärtsilä has the capability to take comprehensive responsibility for the delivery and commissioning of integrated solutions.

We deliver proven designs, engineering, products and concepts that can be fully integrated with each other.

Our worldwide service network provides lifetime support after the unit is set into operation.

Wärtsilä’s integrated projects incorporate marine and oil & gas operational skills, and are based on a wealth of experience and know-how. For the offshore production market we deliver integrated solutions for the following types of unit:

• FPSO
  
  • Newbuild
  • Conversion
• FLNG
• FSRU
• FPO
• Semi-submersible platforms
• Fixed platforms

The complete scope of our production package includes EICT (electro, instrument, control and telecom), power generation, and thruster systems.

Wärtsilä is today the leading power generation provider, with a wide range of engines that are able to be run on various fuels. For example, Wärtsilä’s dual-fuel technology means that engines can be powered by gas straight from the well, whenever possible. We offer crude handling systems, fire- and seawater pumping, safety controls, and emissions reduction systems such as inert gas and hydrocarbon blanketing. We also offer waste water management systems, and separation solutions to enhance production. For FLNG vessels, we offer a modular LNG liquefaction plant, up to 1 MTPA per train, based on nitrogen as the single refrigerant media. We also supply complete LPG and condensate handling systems. Our offering is supported with engineering services, and responsibility for the complete detailed interface engineering of the EICT package.

Wärtsilä takes on a large part of the overall scope under a single contract. This makes it easier to handle the challenges related to multiple interfaces, and reduces the risk of delays.

A powerful alliance to serve the offshore market

Both Wärtsilä and Emerson are major suppliers to the offshore industry, and by combining the strengths, technologies and capabilities of the two companies, we form a unique partnership. The Wärtsilä and Emerson Alliance delivers completely integrated power generation and automation systems for FPSO vessels, and for semi-submersible oil and gas drilling rigs.

The Wärtsilä Emerson Alliance produces and delivers products and systems that range from power production, power distribution, power drives and propulsion, to a completely integrated control and safety system. We take projects from the feasibility study phase, to front-end engineering and design (FEED), all the way through to the system’s delivery and installation, and then continue by offering lifecycle support during operations.

Wärtsilä delivers superior customer value in offshore production through its:

• Early involvement and knowledgeable support
• Best-in-class products integrated into complete solutions
• Comprehensive, integrated technical solutions
• Extensive experience in project management and site support
• Global presence, offering worldwide local support and services throughout the vessel’s lifecycle

Wärtsilä has the unique capability to follow and support an offshore service vessel (OSV) project during all its phases; from initial design throughout the entire lifecycle.

We deliver proven designs, engineering, products and concepts, which we integrate into environmentally and economically sound total solutions.

And after the vessel is launched, our worldwide service network provides service and support for as long as it is in operation.

We provide total integrated solutions for all types of offshore construction and service vessels:

• AHTS – Anchor handling tug supply vessels
• PSV – Platform supply vessels
• OCV – Offshore construction vessels
• DSV – Diving support vessels
• Seismic research vessels
• Jack-up vessels.

All integrated solutions from Wärtsilä are designed to ensure that all system components fit together in the most efficient and effective way possible.

The varying operational modes, conditions, and special requirements of OSVs demand that the design is unique, and that it is capable of achieving excellent fuel efficiency in all situations. Through smart integration of the propulsion systems, we are able to optimize the performance of the thrusters and prime movers. Within the offshore service vessel market we deliver diesel mechanic solutions, diesel electric and hybrid solutions, according to the functionality of the vessel.

The performance of electrical machinery can be further enhanced through Wärtsilä’s patented Low Loss Concept, which reduces transformer losses in electricity transmission systems. This improves the returns on diesel-electric machinery, making it an even more attractive choice for OSVs.

In addition, for service vessels we also offer a large range of engine room pumps, valves, sewage treatment systems, and fresh water makers, all designed for easy operation, high efficiency, and quick service turnaround.  

Wärtsilä delivers superior value in its solutions for offshore service vessels through:

• Early involvement and knowledgeable support 
• World-leading expertise in unique and innovative OSV design
• Reliable and proven products and solutions
• Comprehensive, integrated technical solutions
• Global presence, offering worldwide local support and services throughout the vessels’ lifecycle

We also provide training and Condition-Based Maintenance, with excellent spare part availability from a wide range of manufacturers.
