OTM

Connected throughout the oil and gas industry, OTM brings broad science and technology expertise and an objective eye to an increasingly complex sector. Integrating astute market insight with a distinctive approach to strategy development, we work in close collaboration with your team to extract maximum value from your R&D and technology investments.

OTM runs networks and joint industry projects covering a wide range of challenges and technologies, bringing the industry together to collaborate and develop standards and recommended practices.

Current industry networks:

• Subsea Wireless Group (SWiG) - SWiG was established to promote interoperability for subsea wireless communications. SWiG members are working together to define standards that facilitate interoperability between users of different subsea wireless technologies (acoustic, radio frequency, free space optics, etc).
• Oiltech Investment Network (Oiltech) - The Oiltech Investment Network was established to drive innovation and encourage the application of new technologies within the upstream oil & gas sector. The network achieves this by providing a platform to connect end users to innovative technology providers and entrepreneurs to energy focussed investors.
• MCS-DCS Interface Standardization Network (MDIS) - To streamline the Master Control System (MCS) and Distributed Control System (DCS) communications on topside systems, a standard interface needs to be developed, including a standard communication protocol. The MCS-DCS Interface Standardization (MDIS) network was formed to do this.
• Produced Water Re-Injection Operational Network (PWRI OPNet) - PWRI OPNet, an operator only network, aims to address the operational issues within the Produced Water Re-Injection system. The members meet regularly to discuss issues and pinpoint solutions to resolve their operational problems.
• Inflow Control Technology - For the past 6 years PICT was the primary worldwide knowledge sharing forum for passive inflow control technology. The scope has now been broadened to include active and autonomous inflow control technologies and the name changed to Inflow Control Technology to reflect this.
• Subsea Instrumentation Interface Standardisation (SIIS) - SIIS is a Joint Industry Project with its goal to achieve improvements in subsea reliability. The aim is to standardise the interface between subsea sensors and the subsea control system.
• The Expandable Technology Forum (ETF) - The objective of the ETF network is to increase awareness of expandable tubular technology throughout the industry and develop the market for expandable tubular products through discussion of products and applications.
• The Geopressure Management Network (GMN) - GMN is an operator only network with the objective of advancing its members' knowledge of geopressure management which it does by facilitating the sharing of established best practices and leading edge thinking in geopressure management.
• Subsea Fiber Optic Monitoring (SEAFOM™) - SEAFOM™ is an international Joint Industry forum, with the original vision of promoting the growth of fiber optics in subsea applications. This has now been expanded to encompass all upstream oil and gas industry applications.
• Technology Management Network (TMN) - The TMN is a forum in which oil industry strategists and R&D planners share their own experiences and learn from non-oil & gas benchmark companies and academics. The Network meets regularly and through a facilitated process identifies critical success factors and technology management best practice.
• Drilling Engineering Association (Europe) (DEA(e)) - The DEA(e) is the upstream oil and gas association dedicated to the advancement of drilling engineering technology. The objective of the DEA(e) is to improve access to and use of drilling technology on a worldwide basis through ongoing knowledge-sharing and supply chain stimulation.
• Production Engineering Association (PEA) - The PEA is a pan-industry operator network focused on upstream oil and gas technology. The objective of the association is to improve access to and use of production technology on a worldwide basis, through knowledge-sharing and supply chain stimulation.
