DEEP GULF 2009 PRESENTATION
December 2009 - Aker Solutions and Well Processing joined forces to  present the SWIT Pilot and the Tyrihans subsea water injection system; Tyrihans is a dual pump station succesfully installed during May 2009 on the Norwegian Continetal Shelf. Then the SWIT pilot system was presented, with early encouraging results from the pilot testing. The Tyrihans pump combined with a SWIT treatment unit makes up a "Full subsea water treatment and injection system".

OE 2009 EXHIBITION
September 2009 - The SWIT pilot and its live data connection were presented at Offshore Europe in Aberdeen 8th-11th September 2009 . Also, we presented the pilot project to two selected audiences during the 4 day exhibtion; one session was hosted by Subsea UK (www.subseauk.org) and the other by ITF(www.oil-itf.com).

SWIT PILOT INSTALLED
July 2009 - We are proud to announce that a SWIT pilot system was successfully deployed in July 2009. This is a proof of concept system that will run for one year, producing about 7500 BPD of treated sea water.  The objective of our pilot testing is to demonstrate and  test the combined water treatment efficiency of a representative SWIT unit (7500 – 15000 BPD) on the seabed. Treatment aspects to be demonstrated and verified includes:- Solids removal, water sterilization, system sterilization and remote monitoring and control.

RADICAL THINKING
June 2009 - The Offshore Engineer magazine reports that "with confidence growing among oil companies to move more offshore activities from platform topsides down to the seabed, the next candidate could be subsea treatment and injection of seawater for reservoir waterfloods".

AGREEMENT WITH AKER SOLUTIONS
March 2009 - Aker Solutions and Well Processing AS have signed a cooperation agreement to bring a new technology offering into the marketplace. The combination of subsea water treatment and injection aims to increase oil recovery from offshore produced fields.

SWIT PILOT IS GO
January 2009 - Well Processing are pleased to announce that we have secured support for building a SWIT technology demonstrator with sponsorship from the Research Council of Norway,  ConocoPhillips, Total, Shell, and Gas de France. First equipment sub-supply orders have been placed

ONS 2008 EXHIBITION
September-2008 - We are pleased that the SWIT technology attracted a lot of interest at the ONS 2008 Innovation Park stand, especially news on our subsea pilot station that will be deployed in 2009. ONS 2008 took place from August 26-29 in Stavanger, Norway.

DOT 2007 PRESENTATION
November 2007 - The SWIT technology was presented at the renowned DOT 2007 (Deep Offshore Technology Conference) held in Stavanger from October 10-12, in Stavanger, Norway.

ONS 2006 - SME INNOVATION AWARD
Well Processing was among five finalists for the award, which goes to small and medium-sized enterprises. The others were Tomax (winner), Propure, and Multiphase Meters. However, we are proud of the nomination as the five finalists were selected from 65 approved applications received for this award. All finalists got a statuette at the ‘ONS Innovation lunch’ were  the Norwegian minister of petroleum and energy was present.  [23/8-2006].

SUT PRESENTATION
April 2006 - The SWIT technology was presented at an evening meeting of the Society for Underwater Technology in Aberdeen.

KEEPING SEAWATER IN ITS PLACE
August 2005- il Online reports on SWIT a development that is under way in Norway of a new subsea system which can both treat and inject seawater at the seabed for enhancing oil recovery from reservoirs.
