THREE60 Energy, Innovair and Oil States have entered into a strategic alliance to comprehensively address the structural integrity challenges facing offshore caissons of peoil and gas offshore caissons around the world.
This partnership combines complementary capabilities: engineering and project execution by THREE60 Energy, advanced inspection technologies from Innovair, and installation and repair solutions from Oil States. The goal is clear: to provide a seamless workflow from initial diagnosis to final repair, optimizing safety and regulatory compliance while reducing costs and downtime.
Proven offshore caisson model with global reach
The collaboration builds on a current success story with an operator in the North Sea. North Seawhere a comprehensive project ranging from inspection to caisson repair is being implemented. This experience has validated an operational model that can be replicated in other mature basins, such as the Gulf of Mexico or Asia-Pacific.
THREE60 Energy, with its EPCC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning) approach, leads the technical integration of the service. Innovair provides robotic tools and automated scanners capable of operating in hard-to-reach areas, while Oil States complements with components and field experience in structural maintenance.
Comprehensive care for assets in advanced operation
Caisson integrity represents one of the most critical challenges for operators of aging rigs, affecting both safety and operational continuity. With this alliance, operators gain a single point of contact for the management of these structures, eliminating the typical fragmentation in inspection and repair processes.
The service can be contracted as a stand-alone solution or as part of broader energy transition and renovation programs. The flexibility of the model allows it to adjust to different scenarios, from scheduled maintenance to emergency interventions.
Shared technical vision and commitment to safety
For the three companies, the agreement represents a natural evolution of their previous collaboration.
This union leverages proven strengths and offers operators a robust solution for managing assets in complex conditions.
Alasdair Smith, EPCC director at THREE60 Energy, noted.
For their part, Innovair and Oil States stress the importance of a collaborative approach in increasingly challenging offshore environments.
The alliance presents itself as a reliable option to address the growing need to extend asset life without compromising structural safety and regulatory standards. With an international presence and an adaptive offering, this business trio redefines the way critical integrity processes are addressed on offshore platforms.
