The oil and gas industry is among the most technology-laden sectors of the business world. The drilling, refining, and distribution processes are all extremely detail-oriented, and any missteps can cause significant financial losses.

At the Offshore Technology Conference 2019 this week in Houston, the event’s organizers recognized the most innovative products with Spotlight Awards. Several of these new products stand to make offshore jobs safer and could save companies millions in the process.

SIEMENS

The company’s BlueVault energy storage solution ensures continuity of power to offshore infrastructure while helping to reduce emissions in the process.

Baker Hughes

The GE subsidiary showed of NovaLT16 at OTC 2019. The two-shaft gas turbine is designed to operate for 35,000 hours between maintenance checks, the equivalent of four years of consecutive run time for the gas module.

GreenPin

There are few things as fundamental to rig operations than the lifting, strapping and tying down of items. GreenPin tycan fiber rope is a lightweight but extremely durable solution to these processes.

Stress Engineering Services

Rigs must be constantly examined and inspected to ensure safety. Any hold up in drilling operations due to a mechanical issue not only puts workers closer to a hazardous situation and also costs money. Stress Engineering’s predictive maintenance technology allows for inspections to take place thoroughly without halting drilling operations.

TechnipFMC

Subsea infrastructure poses serious cost and production challenges. TechnipFMC’s ‘Subsea 2.0’ aims to reduce the seafloor technology footprint by half, allowing for a simpler and more manageable system below the rig.

Issaquah plans a 60 kWh sodium-ion battery for its emergency barn

Issaquah plans a 60 kWh sodium-ion battery for its emergency barn

Issaquah, Washington, plans a 60 kWh sodium-ion battery from Emerald Battery Labs for Pickering Barn, its resilience hub. The battery would work with the barn's existing solar array. UL certification, permitting and procurement have to happen first. The city has not released a power rating or a run-time target.

  • 01Sixty kilowatt-hours is a tank size: how long Pickering Barn can run as a warming or cooling center depends on the battery's power rating and which loads stay on, and neither has been published.
  • 02Issaquah's order of work, heat pumps in 2025, solar in 2026, battery next, gives other cities a phased model for turning a busy public building into an outage shelter.

Plug-in cars hit 28% of global sales as Canada reaches 13%

Plug-in cars hit 28% of global sales as Canada reaches 13%

Plug-in vehicles took 28% of global new car sales in August 2026. Canada reached 13% while the U.S. share kept falling. Part of the gap may be supply: according to Reuters, Volkswagen chose South America as the first overseas market for its China-developed architecture and has ruled out North America for now.

  • 01Lower-cost European and Chinese EVs are harder to come by in North America. According to Reuters, Volkswagen chose South America as the first overseas market for its China-developed architecture and has ruled out Europe and North America for now.
  • 02Canada's plug-in share dropped from about 15% to about 9% in a single quarter when rebates ended in late 2024, a measure of how closely near-term demand tracked incentive timing.
  • 03Canada's 13% in August 2026, set against a falling U.S. share, is one signal to watch: if it holds, fleets in both countries may need separate planning assumptions.

Octopus Energy US gets 50% to 60% of smart-device owners into demand response

Octopus Energy US gets 50% to 60% of smart-device owners into demand response

Octopus Energy US says 50% to 60% of its customers with a smart device take part in demand response. The historical utility benchmark is 5% to 10%. Uplight says the devices it manages can be called on dozens of times a year. The pitch to households is a lower bill.

  • 01Octopus says its 50% to 60% participation figure applies only to customers who already own a smart device, and the story does not say how it was measured.
  • 02The question to watch: does participation hold when calls go from fifteen a year to dozens? That decides whether household fleets can compete with batteries in a utility's resource plan.
