Oil and gas technology firm Verum Solutions will look to create up to five jobs in Aberdeen and is “exploring” opening premises in the Granite City.
Verum Solutions, currently based in Glasgow and Monaco, said it expects to have the new recruits in place by early 2019.
It has worked with industry to create a new cloud-based technology, Qvis, that collates and presents project data in a way that will help operators lower costs and prevent overruns.
Qvis was recently put to the test on a large floating production storage and offloading vessel in the North Sea.
Verum also said the technology is applicable for either onshore or offshore oil and gas projects.
Verum founder and chief executive Paul Milligan said: “The inspiration behind Qvis came from personal experience over the past 30 years. Through witnessing the same quality issues on almost every project associated with the delivery of equipment packages and, during construction and commissioning, it was clear that there must be a better way.
“Management practices for other aspects of project management, particularly HSE, have evolved greatly and been very successful in driving incident rates down. Meanwhile, the overriding strategy to manage the QC on projects has remained static.
“Since the concept of the inspection and test plan (ITP) was first developed in the 1960s, multiple stakeholders have been required to routinely attend inspections at the same time, often driven by mutual mistrust.
“It should come as no surprise then that the same quality-related issues are observed on every project and the data gathered usually has minimal value in terms of predicting future QC performance. These issues usually manifest at the critical phase of mechanical completion and commissioning, or worse, during start-up.”
