Reach Subsea’s USV Reach Remote 2 Sets Sail for Australia

26 Aug 2025 08:15 CEST

Haugesund, 26.08.2025 – Reach Subsea is proud to announce that its pioneering
Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) Reach Remote 2 is in route to Australia to deliver
services for leading Australian energy company, Woodside Energy. This marks a
significant milestone in Reach Subsea’s commitment to providing cutting-edge,
sustainable subsea solutions on a global scale.

The Reach Remote 2 USV will perform reservoir monitoring on the Scarborough gas
field, utilising Reach Subsea’s proprietary gWatch technology. This operation
demonstrates the USV’s ability to reduce offshore personnel operational risks,
cut costs, and reduce environmental impact compared to traditional crewed
vessels.

gWatch is a reservoir monitoring technology widely used across Norwegian gas
fields. It measures time-lapse gravity and seafloor deformation to detect small
changes in reservoir mass and pressure. These high-precision measurements
significantly reduce uncertainty in gas reserves (GIIP) and aquifer influx,
enhancing history-matching workflows and supporting more accurate production
forecasts and infill well planning.

Reach Subsea's CEO Jostein Alendal expressed his pride in this international
deployment:

“Seeing the Reach Remote 2 vessel sail 'down under' to deliver world-class
services to a company like Woodside Energy is a proud moment for all of us at
Reach Subsea. This project clearly demonstrates that the transition to a robotic
future is not a vision — it’s happening now. We are reducing HSE risks by
removing personnel from hazardous environments, reducing operational costs, and
cutting the carbon footprint of offshore activities by up to 90%. It's a major
leap forward for the industry and a testament to what innovative technology can
achieve.”

This deployment also marks the start of Reach Subsea’s Inspection, Maintenance,
and Repair (IMR) operations in Australia, supporting clients with high-quality,
cost-efficient services across the energy sector.

The deployment to Australia highlights Reach Subsea’s expanding global presence
and its dedication to safer, smarter, and more sustainable offshore operations.
The Reach Remote platform represents a major technological step forward in the
industry’s transition toward autonomy.
