Offshore staff

HOUSTON – Subsea 7 and its autonomous subsidiary Xodus Group have received an OTC Spotlight Award for the Subsea 7 nano engineered sensor platform (NESP).

The platform can continuously monitor fatigue and corrosion offshore. The wireless nano-technology sensor can be deployed efficiently and easily across any operating asset.

Subsea 7 NESP, which requires no power supply or batteries, offers a scalable, cost-effective, zero maintenance solution to extend asset life and improve uptime.

Steve Wisely, senior vice president of Subsea 7’s UK and Global IRM region, said: “We see Subsea 7 NESP as a promising step towards our key strategic priorities of environmental sustainability and operational efficiencies and we believe it can have a significant impact on the wider industry.”

Steve Hamilton, Xodus’ Chief Technical Authority – EMEA added: “The NESP technology fully integrates with our Xodus Asset Management & Integrity Network tool which allows our experts, infrastructure owners and operators to capture design, installation, testing, operating, inspection and decommissioning information within a single system. This additional capability means we can further increase efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and help optimize the performance of assets.”
