OSLO, Norway — DeepOcean has acquired digitalization specialist Btwn AS based in Sandnes, southern Norway.
In recent years, DeepOcean has deployed digital twins and animations of subsea operations and autonomous inspection drones as part of its subsea survey, IMR and construction service.
“Btwn will strengthen our in-house development team and customer-facing digital innovation projects within all these areas," DeepOcean CEO Øyvind Mikaelsen said. “Further, our cooperation with the Remota JV, which provides remote operations centers for maritime and offshore operations, complements this offering. Our primary focus is to help reduce operating costs and emissions for operators of offshore energy assets.”
Btwn, which has 11 employees, focuses on replacing traditional manual processes with automated solutions for clients in the oil and gas, renewable energy, maritime and aquaculture sectors.
The team has worked with Aker BP to develop a drilling simulator and onshore collaboration center, and it is also supporting a project to develop a control system for semi-autonomous offshore fish farms.
While the company will become part of DeepOcean’s digital innovation team, it will continue to operate as a standalone operation serving the company’s current and other potential clients.
