Offshore Technology Conference 2011

Initiated by the OTC Board of Directors in 2004,

Spotlight on New Technology recognizes products that are new and innovative, proven through full-scale applica- tion or successful prototype testing, and have broad inter- est and a significant impact. Following are just some of the technologies that will be honored this year in Houston. (All images courtesy OTC)

HALLIBURTON CLEANWAVE WATER TREATMENT

Booth 2777

The CleanWave water treatment serv- ice enables treating flowback and pro- duced water making it suitable for reuse in fracturing fluids or other drilling and pro- duction processes.

The CleanWave unit is based on electroco- agulation and is designed to remove suspended solids, oil, other insoluble organics and bacteria from the water.

PG-MAPS FROM PG PUMP SOLUTIONS AND TECHNI

Booths 5055 & 5141

The PG-MAPS is designed as a com- pact, light weight and cost effective pump- ing system for all liq- uids. It utilizes a revo- lutionary software controlled, linear actuating system with permanent magnet motor. The subsea/topside PD liquid pump is hermetically sealed for zero emissions, has high pressure and capacity, no subsea/topside VSD and is suited for ultra deep water.

SBM OFFSHORE COOL HOSE

Booth 4131

SBM Offshore has developed the world's first flexible cryogenic floating hose for the offshore transfer of

LNG. It's called the

Cryogenic Offshore

Offloading and

Loading (COOL)

Hose and it allows off- shore LNG producers to reliably and safely offload LNG in tandem from an FLNG vessel to an LNG carrier.

HEAVY-DUTY ROV

Booth 1941

The HD ROV pro- vides increased relia- bility and availability through an integrated design philosophy for all major subsystems.

This drives a signifi- cant reduction in components, enables modular maintenance and reduces repair time frames to 60 minutes or less. The HD ROV also provides industry leading accuracy for performing remote intervention.

HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC AC SWIVEL

Booth 4131

SBM Offshore has developed the first High Voltage

Electrical AC Swivel for turret moored FPSO’s and

Floating Power Generation Units. The HV AC Swivel allows offshore producers to transfer high voltage electric power from shore to FPSOs (thereby reducing CO2 emis- sions) or from FPSOs to subsea equipment.
