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.

Massachusetts queue delays put 2027 solar tax credits at risk

Massachusetts queue delays put 2027 solar tax credits at risk

Catalyst Power says interconnection delays are now a tax-credit risk, not just a schedule risk. In Massachusetts, a project tied to a 2029 transmission upgrade could miss the Dec. 31, 2027 deadline that SEIA says now governs many solar projects, putting 30% to 50% of ITC value at risk.

  • 01SEIA says solar projects that begin construction after July 4, 2026 must be placed in service by Dec. 31, 2027.
  • 02FERC's cluster-study reforms set study deadlines and late-study penalties, but they do not guarantee a needed grid upgrade finishes before a project's tax clock runs out.

Only 33% of utility executives call asset management advanced, IFS survey finds

Only 33% of utility executives call asset management advanced, IFS survey finds

Fifty-seven percent of utility executives call AI critical to cutting costs. Only 33% rate their asset lifecycle management as advanced, and 49% report operational data silos.

  • 01Fifty-seven percent of utility executives call AI critical to cutting costs, but only 33% rate the asset management that AI would run on as advanced.
  • 02Half of executives say asset management runs in silos with limited predictive capability, suggesting early AI spend may go to data integration before models.
  • 03Pew says grid modernization capex is pressuring rates; it also says using DERs via virtual power plants could serve peak demand at 40%–60% of traditional costs and help defer or avoid some infrastructure upgrades.

Siemens Canada to build a digital twin of Rock Tech's Ontario lithium converter

Siemens Canada to build a digital twin of Rock Tech's Ontario lithium converter

Siemens Canada will develop a digital process twin for Rock Tech Lithium's planned Red Rock Lithium Converter in Ontario. The plant is planned for up to 32,000 tonnes a year of lithium carbonate equivalent. Siemens will also support the ongoing definitive feasibility study, expected to be finalized by mid-December 2026, in process control, instrumentation and automation architecture.

  • 01Siemens' control and automation support is part of the ongoing feasibility study, which suggests Red Rock's control layer is being shaped at the study stage.
  • 02The DFS, expected to be finalized by mid-December 2026, is the next hard marker: the first version of the twin is built on its results.
  • 03Rock Tech and Siemens say they want Red Rock to serve as a blueprint for future converters in Canada and allied markets, and they will evaluate applying the cooperation to projects in other G7 countries.
