Products New NEXUS HD Multi- plexer from MacArtney MacArtney Group introduced the NEXUS MK VI, a new and promis- ing addition to the range of NEXUS multiplexers and telemetry solutions. The MacArtney NEXUS MK VI is a HD video and multibeam sonar multiplexer that carries all signals over one single mode optical Þ bre via CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing). As a frequently se- lected option, the multiplexer comes with integrated (P)ECL and 10/100 Ethernet cards.The NEXUS MK VI multiplexer is designed and built to be a rugged, efÞ cient and versatile HD solution for interfacing a wealth of different sen- sors, equipment and subsea systems. www.macartney.com Tritech?s RAMS Integrity Monitoring Technology Tritech won a contract for its real- time riser and mooring line moni-toring system RAMS. Tritech was selected by Single Buoy Moorings Inc. (SBM), designer and supplier of Turret Mooring Systems (TMS), to supply the primary safety tool for real-time mooring line failure detec- tion and riser monitoring for the new build Floating Production Storage and Ofß oading Unit (FPSO), for the BP Quad 204 development. The RAMS technology will provide 24/7 real-time simultaneous monitor- ing of the presence and precise posi-tion of all subsea targets beneath the FPSO. Tritech is to supply a full hard- ware and software solution to comply with detailed project speciÞ cation, including DNV high availability and redundancy requirements. www.tritech.co.uk Mustang Launches Ocean Commander Immersion Suit Mustang Sur- vival launched an improved Ocean Com-mander im-mersion suit to the Canadian marketplace; reportedly the Þ rst immersion suit to receive Transport Canada, MED, and SOLAS approvals. After research and tests, this launch also marks the return of the long-trusted Ocean Commander immersion suit for sailors, offshore boaters, Þ sherman and other commer- cial marine workers alike. The new Ocean Commander (Model #OC8003 HR) is constructed of a high visibility ß uorescent yellow-green shell mate- rial, building off the Þ ndings of a re- cent study led by Mustang SurvivalÕs research department. mustangsurvival.com Reservoir Modeling Platform Shell and Baker Hughes announced a software license and joint de- velopment agreement to produce a high-end platform for geological and reservoir modeling. The new platform will be designed to bring enhanced evaluation and visualization capabilities to Shell allowing geoscience and petroleum engineering experts to better plan and man- age the extraction of oil and gas resources, realizing their full potential. The system will be optimized for resource modeling and production in tight/shale gas and liquids rich shale reservoirs and is based on the Baker Hughes JewelEarth software platform, which has a strong track record of delivering integrated, data-driven workß ows for optimizing these types of plays.The new platform will complement ShellÕs existing applications, including GeoSigns, ShellÕs proprietary software used to visualize and inter- pret seismic data, and will form part of an integrated working environment for ShellÕs exploration and modelling experts. ÒThe JewelEarthTM platform can handle multiple solutions, from basin to wellbore scale, using one generic data source,Ó said Mario Ruscev, Chief Technology OfÞ cer at Baker Hughes. www.shell.com www.bakerhughes.com October 201356 MTRMTR #8 (50-64).indd 56MTR #8 (50-64).indd 5610/15/2013 10:00:47 AM10/15/2013 10:00:47 AM
