Energy industry services firm EnerMech has secured a contract from oil company LLOG for pre-commissioning services at the Salamanca platform in the Gulf of America.The contract covers hydrotesting and nitrogen dewatering of three 8-inch infield flowlines, one 16-inch oil export pipeline and one 10-inch gas export pipeline. The contract award follows a previous contract in for topside pre-commissioning services which EnerMech secured in 2024.The Salamanca Floating Production Unit (FPU) will operate at a depth of approximately 6,400 feet of water with production from the Leon and Castille fields.With an
HonuWorx Takes Delivery of its First ROV
with a full-scale prototype trial offshore in Canada, deploying an ROV from an autonomous submersible mothership platform and controlling the system from shore in what is believed to be a world-first demonstration."The deployment of ROVs has not changed in the last 40 years of the offshore energy industry with large, crewed, fossil fuel powered surface vessels typically used to transport vehicles to worksites. By removing the need for surface ships, the Loggerhead all-electric uncrewed system has the potential to vastly reduce the emissions, cost and risk of underwater robotics operations. Per

transition."This MoU with Proserv opens a world of possibilities for both companies and the wider energy sector. By working together, we can harness the strengths of both our organizations to develop cleaner, smarter subsea power delivery solutions that contribute to the decarbonization of the energy industry.“We are confident that this partnership will drive significant value not only for Proserv and Verlume, but for the industry as we pursue our common goal of delivering sustainable energy solutions,” added Richard Knox, CEO of Verlume
Subsea Digitalization: Remote Control
;This creates a lot of value, instead of sending someone offshore or having to keep someone offshore to look at problems if something happens,” says Bouillouta.“Today's business complexity necessitates a shift from a reporting culture to true transparency and collaboration in the energy industry. With asset integrity management still representing a significant portion of OPEX, the market needs a solution that leverages data and expertise to proactively manage assets and reduce costs.“When we speak about digital technology, it sometimes sounds very complex, and expensive, but really
