Case Study: Equinor boosts safety and production efficiency with Kongsberg Digital simulation technology

Applying compelling, immersive simulation tech to build a better future

Equinor, a major energy company operating the large Johan Sverdrup oil field, faced challenges in optimizing operations, ensuring safety, and preparing its personnel for a wide range of scenarios. To address this, Equinor partnered with vendor Kongsberg Digital to leverage its advanced simulation technology and dynamic simulator models.

Kongsberg Digital’s solution provided immersive, high-fidelity simulators that enabled Equinor to test designs, verify systems, and conduct extensive operator training. This resulted in a safer and more efficient operation, including the prevention of a production loss estimated at over 25 million Norwegian kroner in a single incident. The technology helped Equinor achieve world-class production efficiency, reduce errors, and better meet its sustainability KPIs.
