ITF calling for technology proposals to further develop subsea intervention
By Editor | February 11, 2010
ITF is calling on global technology developers to come forward with solutions to a range of challenges associated with subsea intervention.
The collective output of an ITF technology challenge workshop held in Houston last year, this call for proposals aims to uncover innovative new ideas and technologies that will improve and extend the efficiency and capability of intervention techniques.
ITF is specifically looking for technological solutions to enhance;
- Subsea Power
- AUV Mission
- Cost Effective Light Well Intervention
- Downhole Diagnostic Tools
- High Pressure/High Temperature Technology
- Better Artificial Lift
Neil Poxon, managing director of ITF explained:
"Subsea Intervention, whether for construction maintenance or production enhancement is now the only viable options for many field developments, and for the first time, Inspection, Repair and Maintenance (IRM) has out grown construction as the number one subsea expenditure for upstream production.
"Improving and extending the efficiency and capability of intervention therefore plays a significant part in the lifecycle cost of subsea production.
Any organisation seeking sponsorship for innovative technologies is encouraged to submit proposals for research, development, and/or field trial to ITF by March 15, 2010.
