ARKANE TECHNOLOGY / HUNTING

Imagine cutting pipe downhole without explosives. Hunting's Opti-TEK Slickline Tubing Cutter makes it possible. Powered by alkaline batteries and controlled by smart software, this revolutionary tool creates a precise V-profile cut in a single trip. The result? Safer operations, no dangerous goods, and reduced rig time. Already proven in four successful UK and European operations, Opti-TEK is changing how we think about pipe severance—delivering digital verification, emergency retract capabilities, and a path toward explosive-free well interventions.

REMEDIUM ENERGY

What if you could capture carbon and store energy at the same time? Remedium Energy's Limeloop technology does exactly that. This Cambridge-developed calcium-based sorbent captures 36 times more CO₂ than natural limestone over its lifetime. Combined with their Smart Carbon Capture Battery, the system delivers carbon capture for as low as 10 dollars per tonne while generating valuable stored heat. For offshore platforms and FPSOs, this compact modular solution integrates seamlessly into existing systems, cutting emissions and improving efficiency with minimal footprint. A decade of research is now advancing towards offshore deployment.

STILLSTROM

Stillstrom by Maersk is bringing electric charging offshore. Their fully integrated high-voltage charging system reduces vessel greenhouse gas emissions by delivering up to 8 megawatts of continuous electricity directly from offshore wind turbines. No new foundations needed—the system uses existing wind farm infrastructure for rapid deployment. The result is low fuel dependency for offshore vessels, reduced costs, and accelerated maritime decarbonisation. With advanced digital control systems, virtual reality training for crews, and progress toward full certification, Stillstrom is powering a transformational shift: electricity made at sea, for the sea.
