The Argus subsea AZ-10 brings enabling technology to marginal fields

THE GROWING MARKET for small and marginal field projects in remote areas requires innovative technology and unique solutions. The Argus AZ-10 combines these traits in a new subsea tree that is ideal for the operator who faces remote, marginal fields that require improved net present value (NPV) by accelerating production and lowering capital expenditure. In such fields, technology must focus on enabling hardware to bring the fields on with the ease of a plug-and-play system.p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">THE GROWING MARKET for small and marginal field projects in remote areas requires innovative technology and unique solutions.
