continuous and intermittent operations, mooring design, payload survivability during storm conditions, deployment and maintenance, and complete end-to-end data solutions including communications and security requirements, OPT saidThe company’s new products, the hybrid PowerBuoy and its Subsea Battery Solution which are currently under development, will be considered as either prime or alternative solutions in the study, possibly in combination with the PB3 PowerBuoy, it added.“We believe our solutions will reduce the cost of our customer’s operations and will also increase safety and
OPT Inks Deal with US Operator
H. Kirby said, “This contract is the first with a U.S. oil and gas operator, opening the door for OPT to provide solutions into the Gulf of Mexico where we believe there exists significant need for cost-effective remote offshore power and communications.”OPT's PowerBuoy and subsea battery solution product lines, along with its support services, provide clean and reliable electric power and real-time data communications for remote offshore and subsea applications.Kirby said the company sees big opportunities in the U.S. Gulf. “The Gulf of Mexico is the largest oil field decommissioning
New Alkaline Battery System for the Oceanographic Market
The new Energy Sales Pressure-Tolerant Battery System (PTBS) is an alkaline battery solution specifically for the oceanographic community, set to be unveiled at Oceanology International North America, February 14-16, in San Diego. Energy Sales, Inc. said its new design replaces the need for housings made of titanium or other costly advanced composite materials. Working with the University of Washington Applied Physics Lab (UW/APL), the company sought to develop a cost-efficient battery solution specific to the deep ocean – depths that range from 1,800 to 3,000 meters. “Coll
