SUBMAR Strengthens Its International Position at Subsea Expo in Aberdeen
During a recent business visit to Aberdeen, SUBMAR reinforced its position within the international subsea and decommissioning market through strategic engagement and technology leadership. The trip combined high-level industry participation with targeted discussions to further expand the company’s offshore capabilities.
Showcasing Innovation in Well Decommissioning
A key highlight of the visit was SUBMAR’s participation in Subsea Expo, one of the foremost gatherings for professionals in the subsea and offshore energy sector. During the event, Mr. Martin Van Dromme, CEO of SUBMAR, delivered a technical presentation addressing the complexities of cutting oil and gas wells in decommissioning projects and the innovating services SUBMAR can offer to those challenges. In his address, Mr. Martin Van Dromme examined the operational and technical challenges associated with conventional well-cutting methods. Traditional mechanical techniques often encounter limitations in capacity and efficiency—particularly when a fully circumferential cut must be achieved without leaving residual material bridges that can compromise project time.
SUBMAR’s advanced waterjet cutting technology directly addresses these challenges. The company has developed a proprietary solution capable of executing a complete circumferential cut in a single continuous operation—without leaving bridges—within four hours or less. This approach significantly enhances operational efficiency while maintaining the highest standards of safety, accuracy, and quality. The presentation attracted a large audience of decommissioning specialists and offshore energy professionals. The strong engagement and positive feedback underscored the growing demand for innovative, reliable solutions in the evolving offshore decommissioning market.
Strategic Engagement with Brimmond
Beyond the exhibition, SUBMAR’s visit also included a strategic meeting with Brimmond, a leading Aberdeen-based engineering company known for delivering integrated mechanical and hydraulic solutions to the energy sector. Discussions centred on the capabilities of a reeler system and the added operational value it could provide to SUBMAR’s offshore activities. The potential acquisition of this system marks a significant step in strengthening the company’s technical infrastructure.
By expanding its equipment portfolio and enhancing deployment flexibility, SUBMAR aims to deliver even more efficient, reliable, and adaptable solutions for offshore projects. This strategic investment reinforces the company’s commitment to innovation and its ambition to remain at the forefront of subsea cutting technology.
Driving Progress in Offshore Decommissioning
The visit to Aberdeen proved highly valuable from both a technological and strategic perspective. Through knowledge sharing at Subsea Expo and collaborative discussions with key industry partners, SUBMAR continues to play an active role in advancing safe, efficient, and future-ready offshore decommissioning solutions worldwide.
