The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) is an annual event where energy professionals meet to advance their scientific and technical knowledge related to offshore resources in the fields of drilling, exploration, production, and environmental protection.
Rotating Buoyancy Modules Control Buckling
The rotating buoyancy module system is designed for use in seabed pipelines and flowlines. As the modules rotate along sections of pipeline prone to buckling, they create a controlled bend. The rotating buoyance modules reduce lateral friction and berm creation, which generates a repeatable, predictable pipeline behavior. The use of this technology will eliminate rogue buckles and reduce axial walking in the pipeline. Fewer buoyancy modules are needed for safe buckling with this technology than with nonrotating modules, helping lower costs.

Battery-Powered Stud Welder is Portable
The Pinnacle NCD+ 500b stud welder has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that gives it a high degree of portability. The cordless technology can perform thousands of welds on a single battery charge without the use of a generator or power cord. The battery is removable and a spare battery can be used while the other is charging, virtually eliminating downtime and enabling continuous operation. The compact, lightweight unit has a padded shoulder strap and is easy to carry around a job site. It weighs only 18 lb, and with 31 ft of welding cable, it can service a large area. The Pinnacle stud welder incorporates microprocessor-controlled safety and diagnostic functions and a familiar gun display similar to other stud welders.

Camera Offers Reliable Performance in High-Vibration Environments
The CC03-IP2MF36IR camera is fully compatible with Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) to allow seamless integration into most Vitrual Memory System (VMS) operating system platforms. A 2.43-megapixel image sensor provides high resolution and dual streaming video that meets the needs of most industrial applications. With a 39-piece built-in infrared LED array, the camera provides imaging in total darkness at distances of up to 70 ft. The CSA/FM-certified enclosure can be easily installed, and an optional multipositional mount is also available. The NEMA 4X waterproof and dustproof housing is finished with a protective marine-grade epoxy coating suitable for offshore applications and for high-vibration environments. The camera is designed to provide long-term, reliable performance at an economical price.

Selective Adsorbent is an Alternative to Activated Carbon
The Sulabead adsorbent can be used in place of activated carbon-based gas treatment. The Sulabead’s pores, while similar in shape to those on carbon-based absorbents, are specific to hydrogen sulfide, allowing for cleaner and fully recyclable beads. The hydrogen sulfide collected on the bead is pure enough to be sold as a commercial product. The Sulabead and Sulaway system are less expensive than activated carbon systems and are a good option for small-scale gas-cleaning operations. The system is fully automated and consists of a gas compressor, a gas dryer, a water separator, and two towers filled with Sulabead. The Sulabead adsorbent is also sold individually and can replace carbon in an existing system.

Supply Chain Management Software Increases Cooperation
Verity 3.1 software helps to manage and reduce supply chain risk. The software improves collaboration between geographically separate locations and third-party partners. Design plans link maintenance, inspection, and quality-control vendors to form a cohesive team during supply-demand challenges. The precision and accuracy in the software increase the efficiency of the operation and create a safer supply chain that generates less waste. Data from different users are stored on-site though the Oracle MySQL Database 5.7 or on the Oracle 11G Cloud Database. The Verity 3.1 software server is compatible with Linux Redhat/CentOS EL; and Windows 7, 8, 10, or Tablet.

Jet-Fire Protection is Reliable and Easy to Install
The Charcast 7 engineered jet-fire panel system is designed for easy application in areas where spray or trowel fire protections are not feasible. The paneled material is made from a cast epoxy intumescent and is lightweight, has high thermal performance, and is applied by a rapid dry-fit installation technique. The use of the ready-made panels eliminates the need for grit blasting, priming, and setting up restrictive work site conditions required to install other types of jet-fire protection. The Charcast 7 can be applied directly over existing bulkheads, underdecks, and structural members. The system has undergone thorough jet-fire testing and meets ISO 22899 standards. The material’s durability and consistent long-term performance enable its use in harsh environments, including offshore locations.
