Highlighting products that enhance safety, sustainability and operational efficiency across critical industries, Teledyne Flir will be exhibiting their portfolio at ADIPEC 2025, scheduled from 3 to 6 November in Abu Dhabi 

Flir's condition monitoring solutions include the iXX, Assetlink, Si2 series, and Exx series. These come in a range of handheld and fixed monitoring tools as well as inspection software, all designed to make condition monitoring more efficient and help companies maximise their uptime.

Alongside condition monitoring solutions, Flir will also be showcasing its thermal imaging and sensing solutions at ADIPEC 2025.

Flir’s Early Fire Detection solutions harness advanced radiometric thermal imaging to identify heat anomalies before smoke or flames appear. Ideal for high-risk environments such as recycling centers, battery storage sites, and industrial facilities, these systems enable continuous monitoring and rapid intervention to prevent costly damage. The Flir A700f, a fixed-mount thermal camera with onboard analytics, delivers precise temperature measurements and intelligent alerts to enhance safety and operational continuity. Come talk to us on Flir stand XX and find out how our technology can protect your critical infrastructure.

Flir will also showcase its Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) technology, featuring the Gx320 and QL320 cameras. These advanced tools visualise and quantify gas leaks in real time, helping industries meet environmental compliance and reduce emissions. Powered by Flir’s ADGiLE solution, users gain automated detection, geolocation, and reporting capabilities—streamlining inspections and improving safety across oil & gas, chemical, and energy sectors.

Hunting PLC has introduced Opti-TEK, a new suite of optimised intervention technologies aimed at helping operators extend well life, minimise downtime, enhance decision-making, and lower both operational costs and environmental impact

Developed through Hunting’s TEK-HUB innovation platform, Opti-TEK combines the company’s internal expertise with strategic technology partnerships to accelerate the delivery of next-generation tools to the market.

The initial range of products includes:
• Opti-TEK slickline tubing cutter: A disruptive, non-explosive, battery-powered downhole cutting tool that operates autonomously with CNC precision, ensuring safe, efficient, and verified severance during plug and abandonment (P&A) operations or in environmentally sensitive areas.
• Opti-TEK data stem: A cost-effective, plug-and-play slickline tool providing downhole intelligence by capturing pressure, temperature, accelerometer, and CCL data at a fraction of conventional system costs.
• Opti-TEK monitoring system for greaseless cable pack-off: Delivers real-time data tracking and predictive maintenance for greaseless cable pack-off heads.
• Opti-TEK valves: Lightweight, compact, and service-friendly wireline valves offering high cutting force from low-pressure inputs, marking a step-change in valve design.

Allan Gill, product line director for Well Intervention, commented, “Opti-TEK represents Hunting’s commitment to delivering smarter, safer and more cost-effective interventions. By aligning cutting-edge innovation with real-world operational demands, we are enabling our customers to optimise every intervention and maximise the value of their asset.”

The Opti-TEK portfolio will be showcased at ADIPEC this year.

Weatherford has launched Weatherford Industrial Intelligence at the company’s flagship FWRD 2025 Technology Conference in Houston

Weatherford Industrial Intelligence contextualises the physical world through physics-based and data-driven software. This delivers actionable insights for every end user, from engineers to executives, resulting in greater reliability, improved efficiency, and enhanced performance across the energy value chain.

The new portfolio sees the integration of Modern Edge, which enables customers to modernise their edge operations and facilitate autonomous production, with the flexibility to expand operations, while optimising resource usage and reducing costs. It features:
• Weatherford Autonomous Surveillance Platform (WASP) – Provides full-time remote visibility above, below, and on-surface infrastructure and assets using a network of distributed fibre optic systems, cameras, and IoT devices.
• R2TUs Edge Device Family – Family of Edge Devices with embedded physics and empirical models, as well as network models that are self-connected and powered to deliver closed-loop automation in the field.
• MetaFlow Virtual Flow Meter (VFM) – Delivers accurate, real-time flow measurements using AI and physics-based models in conjunction with existing and new flow meters.

Unified data model

Weatherford is also advancing its own unified data model through its Synsera Unified Data Model, which integrates multi-asset, multigeneration asset metadata across operations into a structure of the customers’ choosing. By combining operational and financial analysis into an API-supported framework, the platform enables smarter decision-making and streamlined workflows across facilities.

In addition, the WFRD Software Launchpad gives customers a single, comprehensive industrial SaaS platform to manage all of their software needs, providing a secure and centralised point of access for all Weatherford and partner-built applications while also giving customers the ability to publish their own applications to be consumed across the enterprise.

Girish Saligram, president and chief executive officer of Weatherford, commented, “Weatherford Industrial Intelligence empowers our customers to accelerate adoption, regardless of infrastructure maturity, by integrating our software, our partners’ software, and our customers’ systems with any hardware. With domain intelligence embedded at the edge and grounded in decades of engineering expertise, we deliver automation that drives safer operations, greater efficiency, and stronger returns.”

Digital Edge Subsea continues to enhance its offering as a world leader in digital video recording and inspection systems for the subsea industry, capitalising on the growing demand for remote inspection

Digital Edge Subsea at ADIPEC

Digital Edge Subsea's busy programme of events for 2025, continues in November at ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi where we will be attending as part of the EIC UK pavilion.

Partnership with Ashtead Technology

Digital Edge Subsea is delighted to announce that following their successful acquisition of Seatronics, Ashtead Technology will continue to supply customers with our industry leading digital video recording and inspection systems.

As well as continuing to support existing customers, this partnership is already allowing Digital Edge Subsea to service more regions, with new rental stock having been delivered to Ashtead Technology's bases in Abu Dhabi and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

With access to the full range of products including 2u and 3u DVRs, as well as the existing 4u, workstation and laptop solutions, Digital Edge looks forward to working with Ashtead Technology across the globe.

Remote Inspection

The partnership between Digital Edge Subsea and Harvest Technology, the Perth, Australia- based video-streaming experts, has taken another leap forward. The ability to stream live video and serial data to the cloud, facilitating remote situational awareness for the offshore was a game changer in the subsea inspection market in 2024 and this year the solution has been enhanced with the addition of audio streaming. The solution still uses Harvest Technology’s proprietary Nodestream technology.

For 2025, Digital Edge Subsea is seeing an increase in demand for full remote inspection, whereby the inspection engineer is based onshore. Utilising Harvest Technology’s all-new Flex hardware, four HD video feeds and serial data can be streamed to shore over low bandwidth. The four HDMI outputs from the onshore Flex decoder connect directly to the Digital Edge Subsea DVR and the frame synchronised serial data from offshore can be input via the DVR’s serial ports.

With full two-way audio communication, the inspection engineer can be located onshore, recording four HD video channels, with overlay and logging raw data from offshore, as easily as if they were based on the vessel. All of this can be achieved over very low bandwidth, negating the requirement for additional low earth orbit satellite communication to be added to the spread.

This development represents a significant reduction in costs to subsea service contractors with inspection personnel and technical representatives able to work remotely, from anywhere in the world. By reducing travel requirements, the carbon footprint of offshore operations can be reduced, with the added benefit of fewer personnel working in potentially hazardous environments.
