NAUTRONIX, an Aberdeen company providing marine technology services, said yesterday it had completed a North Sea project with Subsea 7.
The work involved Nautronix providing its NASNet technology to support positioning operations during a pipeline bundle tow-out.
NASNet is a subsea acoustic positioning and navigation system.
The project on BP’s Machar field in the central North Sea followed the use of NASNet by Subsea 7 on a similar bundle tow-out operation on Total’s Jura field in the northern North Sea last year.
The value of the latest Subsea 7 contract has not been disclosed, but it is understood to be worth more than £300,000.
Nautronix managing director Mark Patterson said: “We have always anticipated that NASNet would offer a variety of applications to the industry. We have invested over £12million into the research and development of NASNet over the last seven years.”
