Fishbones Stimulation Technology is an open hole liner completion that connects the well and the reservoir without the drawbacks of hydraulic fracturing. Fishbones defines a new level of precision and efficiency in reservoir stimulation. You can vertically connect the reservoir throughout a long well in one short pumping operation. We are uniquely focused on cultivating innovation and finding solutions to customers challenges by research, development and implementation of new technology. In our drive to develop solutions, we foster external focus, imagination and courage. Fishbones products are developed in close cooperation with clients for the purpose of further increasing recovery, increasing production and reducing cost. The company headquarters is located in Stavanger, Norway.

OCTIO provides flexible geophysical monitoring services, tailored to optimally fit every specific project. OCTIO’s services are complete, covering all the steps required to convert geophysical data into value for our clients. OCTIO performs geophysical studies to define overall monitoring strategies, plans and executes operations and provides support to integrate data in interpretation workflows. OCTIO’s main services are: - Offshore seismic monitoring. OCTIO’s reservoir and caprock monitoring system (ReM) is a scalable, flexible platform, which features MEMS accelerometers and hydrophones and allows for the integration of any other third-party sensor. ReM applications range from focused systems for monitoring caprock integrity during well drilling or around injection wells, to full scale reservoir monitoring systems (PRM). - Survey based 4D gravity and seafloor subsidence monitoring.  Time-lapse gravity is sensitive to fluid movement in the subsurface, and is the best tool for quantifying water influx or hydrocarbon depletion in reservoirs. Seafloor subsidence allows mapping hydrocarbon depletion, and is an important input for the safety of the installation. OCTIO Gravitude‘s technology provides world-best accuracies on 4D gravity and subsidence, at costs which are a small fraction of those of active time-lapse seismic surveys. - Geophysical consulting. OCTIO’s expertise covers the whole spectrum of geophysical monitoring: operations, data acquisition, R&D, geophysical modelling, data inversion and underlying rock physics models. OCTIO assists its clients in projects requiring such a wide expertise.

Neodrill’s focus is to make the construction of exploration and production wells cheaper, safer and more efficient by establishing a smarter well foundation, enabling pre-rig well construction. Their technically superior solution, CAN® (Conductor Anchor Node), has been proven in 20 installations, to cut well construction time and costs, reduce risks and improve safety. Once installed, the CAN ensures that a proper well formation is in place. This removes the risks associated with uncertainties related to e.g.: bending, fatigue, load capacity and cementing quality. The unique design of the CAN lends itself to easy integration of protection structures and efficient pre-installation of other subsea infrastructure equipment like flow lines, etc. As a result, CAN technology now acts as an enabler to other subsea technological advances, leading the way towards the next generation of subsea solution. This extended use of their technology supports Neodrill’s commitment to innovation, and dedication to reducing risk and cost.
