WFS Technologies (WFS) has joined forces with Subsea Energy Solutions (SES) to harness their combined global expertise and market-leading range of live condition monitored cable protection systems for the offshore energy industry.

Scottish firm WFS Technologies has scored a double award whammy after being honoured with a prestigious Economic Disruptor of the Year 2019 title for its pioneering work on subsea digitalisation.

WFS Technologies has been honoured with a top industry award after winning Oil & Gas UK’s Business Innovation accolade for its pioneering Seatooth® technology.

Allseas, a global leader in offshore pipeline installation, heavy lift and subsea construction, has chosen WFS Technologies’ new Seatooth® Pipelogger for the real time measurement of process temperature on a subsea pipeline system which they have installed recently. The pipeline system is designed to have a total gas throughput capacity of 31.5 billion cubic meters per year.

A new on-demand wireless ribbon lighting system, designed to revolutionise diver safety and efficiency in remote subsea locations, has been launched following a collaboration between award-winning Scottish technology companies WFS Technologies Ltd and PhotoSynergy Ltd (PSL). Seatooth LIGHTPATH™ is a combination of two advanced technologies – WFS’s Seatooth, a subsea wireless communication system that can download and log information gathered on subsea installations remotely, and PhotoSynergy Ltd’s LIGHTPATH™, a side-emitting flexible fibre that projects a continuous line of light that carries no electrical power. The new product works for both diver and ROV operators working either near surface or at depths of up to 3,000m. The light is engaged automatically when the diver or the ROV comes within 5m of a structure, and provides instant illumination of subsea architecture and delineating features such as control valves, docking bays and even the outline of the structure itself against the natural darkness of the underwater environment.
