Delivering excellence in the deepwater dark is the modus operandi for the subsea industry. It is back on the beach where deliveries get challenging, where questions of cost and efficiency gains demand answers and where innovation does battle with standardization.

By continuing to advance the technologies that make subsea possible, marginal fields shine brighter on the list of possible development candidates. With Big Data and the analytic acrobatic algorithms to decipher bringing greater insight into the remote operating environment, the global subsea market finds itself on the cusp of a full recovery.
It’s always darkest before the dawn. But working in the dark is where subsea excels.
