eSCILS

Revolutionising subse work on wells

Simpler, faster, safer and more cost effective subsea work on wells

The universal and fully battery-powered and umbilical-less Electric Subsea Controls & Intervention Light System (eSCILS) is a result of Optime’s design philosophy of simplicity and modularity. 

The technology is truly revolutionizing the industry, and allows operators to solve operations simpler, faster, safer, and leave a substantially smaller CO2-footprint in the end.

The technology is compatible with all types of XTs, interfacing electric and hydraulic points through vendor-specific connectors.

A wireless telemetry system allows an interface with the rig/vessel positioning system to transfer data and control. In addition, wired communication is also available in multiple protocols for ROV interfacing.

Easier to transport

eSCILS weighs only 10 tonnes and has a footprint of 5,2 m2, which gives the system a big advantage compared to conventional systems. eSCILS can easily be transported  by any ship, and it needs minimal space on the rig.

Reduced rig time and improved safety for the operators

eSCILS is fully battery-powered, no Topside Control System or additional rig equipment is needed. This can save up to 50% on rig time compared to traditional systems, and improve safety for the operators.
