Hydromea, Equinor Achieve World’s First Wireless Broadband Data Transfer from Seabed to Cloud
Hydromea, together with Equinor, has announced the world’s first demonstration of real-time, high-bandwidth wireless data transmission from the ocean floor directly to the cloud. This milestone marks an advancement in subsea asset monitoring and the digitalization of the offshore energy sector.Hydromea’s SWiG-ready LUMA Free-Space Optical (FSO) devices successfully transmitted data from the seabed to Equinor’s cloud infrastructure using Equinor’s proprietary DEEPNET network. This is the first known instance where high volume of data collected at the bottom of the
Saipem’s Underwater Drone Carries Out Autonomous Survey at Njord Field
the mission independently, contributing to seabed monitoring and the protection of marine ecosystems through the use of underwater robotics.The activity forms part of a 10-year contract signed in 2019 with Equinor, described as the first global service agreement for underwater drones in the offshore energy sector.Under the contract, the drone performs inspections and interventions on subsea assets to provide data on potential hazards and support the integrity and safety of Equinor’s subsea systems.Since entering service, Hydrone-R has logged more than 500 days of subsea residency, including remotely

DeepOcean Wraps Up Work at US Offshore Wind Project
to have contributed to this project, led by a dedicated team in our U.S. offices,” said Mitchell Pike, Managing Director of DeepOcean’s Offshore Renewables Division.“This project is a testament to expertise in global subsea trenching and seabed intervention across the offshore energy sector. We are proud that our experienced team and state-of-the-art technology ensured a safe and efficient campaign, contributing to successful delivery,” added Tony Stokes, Managing Director DeepOcean’s Americas region
TDK’s Tronics Launches High-Temp MEMS Sensor for Drilling Applications
TDK Corporation has expanded Tronics’ high-performance MEMS inertial sensor portfolio with the launch of the AXO315®T1, a high-temperature digital accelerometer designed for energy sector drilling applications.The AXO315T1 MEMS accelerometer operates at temperatures of up to 175 degrees Celsius and is aimed primarily at measurement while drilling (MWD) applications.The device is also suited for logging while drilling (LWD), directional drilling and wireline operations, where reliable downhole navigation and inclination measurement are required in harsh temperature and vibration environments.
Modelling Identifies Optimal Offshore Renewables Sites
turbines offset periods when hydrokinetic energy production goes down, and the hydrokinetic devices offset periods when wind production goes down. It really underscores the difference our model can make in terms of maximizing investment in offshore power.“We’re open to working with the energy sector to help them explore how they might use the model to inform long-term planning decisions related to sustainability and energy security,” says de Queiroz.The paper, “Fused Portfolio Optimization for Harnessing Marine Renewable Energy Resources,” is published open access in the
CorPower Ocean Takes Charge of $35M Wave Energy Project off UK
builds on CorPower’s wave energy converter technology currently operating off Portugal and aims to prove the scalability of European, particularly U.K. and Scottish, manufacturing capability for future wave farms.“The POWER-Farm EU initiative arrives at a pivotal moment for the wave-energy sector, as the industry shifts from research and development to commercial deployments. With Europe investing to bring wave energy to farm-scale readiness, we urge the UK to match this ambition and unlock its vast wave-energy potential.“The U.K. is uniquely positioned to become a global leader
Subsea Supplies Targets US in Partnership with DRIFT Offshore
from its base in Florida.The partnership represents a joint $250,000 investment in machinery, tooling, stock, and test equipment to support expanded operations. By providing local stock availability and faster response times, it will reduce downtime and enhance supply-chain reliability across the energy sector.DRIFT Offshore’s 5,000 sq ft repair and engineering facility in South Florida, which opened this year, will now manufacture and distribute Subsea Supplies products. As part of the partnership, Subsea Supplies is helping establish the moulding facility and providing in-house training for
