QUAFF - Quantitative parameterisation of fault zones in outcrop for inclusion in reservoir flow models
With support and funding secured from eight ITF member companies, researchers at University College Dublin have been able to undertake a research study on the quantitative parameterisation of fault zones in outcrop for inclusion in reservoir flow models (QUAFF). From the results of this study, the industry's understanding of fault related reservoir compartmentalisation is set to improve significantly.
University of Leeds
IPEGG - Integrated Petroleum Engineering - Geomechanics - Geophysics - Next Generation technology for the petroleum industry
With support and funding secured from four ITF member companies, researchers with a broad expertise (including geology, geophysics, geomechanics, petroleum engineering) from the University of Leeds, Bristol University and Rockfield Software Ltd collaborated and embarked on a multidisciplinary study to assess how geophysical indicators of stress and mechanical property distributions within reservoirs can be integrated with coupled geomechanical- fluid flow models to predict reservoir behaviour (i.e. stress changes, compaction, fault reactivation) during production.
VerdErg
WAIFERSS - Wet Aerogel Insulation for Extended Reach Subsea Systems
In response to an ITF Call for Proposals for Subsea Challenges, Guildford based VerdErg, secured support and funding from four operator sponsors to embark on a field study to examine the potential for a new high-performance material for non-jacketed subsea insulation. This innovative technology should tackle the challenges of flow assurance and insulation of pipelines and subsea hardware in water depths of up to 3000m.
SeaBox
SWIT - Subsea water injection treatment
SeaBox's innovative subsea water injection treatment (SWIT) system is undergoing full-scale pilot plant trials thanks to support from ITF and Norway's DEMO 2000 initiative. SWIT provides an alternative to topsides seawater treatment by doing everything on the seabed. The system offers a subsea seawater treatment solution to add to existing subsea pumping and christmas tree technology.
University of Liverpool
MIMMS - Membrane Inlet Miniature Mass Spectrometry Based Water Monitoring System
The MIMMS (Membrane Inlet Miniature Mass Spectrometry Based Water Monitoring System) project developed by Liverpool University is a novel oil-in-water monitor based on miniature mass spectrometry technology.
Red Spider
Powerball® is a pioneering reservoir isolation barrier (RIB) that prevents fluid loss during the upper completion phase of well construction.
Its increased reliability differentiates it from competitors and it can save operators up to half a million pounds per operation by delivering major time reductions during subsea operations.
University of Alberta
BLISS - Blind Identification of Seismic Signals
The BLISS (Blind Identification of Seismic Signals) consortium is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the University of Leeds1, United Kingdom and Jean Kuntzmann Laboratory, Grenoble, France. Its principle objective is to identify state-of-the-art technologies in the field of advanced signal processing which carry promise for a step-change in current seismic processing algorithms.
Green Ocean Energy
Wave Treader
Wave Treader is a unique wave energy generator which can provide clean electricity to power offshore structures. Wave Treader was originally designed to attach onto offshore wind turbines but Green Ocean Energy (GOE) is now exploring alternative applications for the technology. ITF invested £25,000 from our Pioneer Fund, which supports the early-stage development of potentially game changing technologies.

IRT-MODE - Integrated Reactive Transport Modelling of Dolomite Evolution. This project integrates process-based numerical modelling with existing observational data to generate predictive concepts of diagenetic modification of reservoir-quality in fractured carbonates.
Hydrafact
Hydrate Inhibition Monitoring System
HydraCHEK is a state-of-the-art lab based analytical tool that measures the concentration of hydrate inhibitor and salt in produced water samples taken from a pipeline.
Pipeline Engineering and Supply Company Ltd.
AMPL - Automatic Multiple Pig Launching System
With the support of ITF and funding secured from four member companies, Pipeline Engineering and Supply Company Ltd (PE), have designed and carried out field trials on AMPL, a new multi pigging tool, which utilises existing pipeline equipment and retro-fit’s it with a loaded cassette of multiple pigs which can be launched independently, as required, with minimal human intervention.
