Task 5.1 to assess the interest from the commercial sector and to collect contacts for future meetings/networking: FEEDBACK WP 5 Innovation through Industry SLR

Task 5.1 Stakeholder Engagement: FixO3 partners. WP2 collected all relevant technical information on hardware, software and middleware characteristics of each FixO3 site. WP12 has identified CO2 measurement, pH measurement and passive acoustic data processing as products and services to be further developed. Oiltech Investment Network UK IMON International Workshop on New Monitoring Technologies NeXOS Project COMMON SENSE Project FEEDBACK WP 5 Innovation through Industry SLR

FINDINGS WP 5 Innovation through Industry SLR Target Market – Ocean environmental monitoring & metocean analysis – Key segments Autonomy & sensors – Sensor technologies, biofouling & robotics Marine Information & Computing Technologies Market Size – £1.35bn in 2012 and growing What is the problem in this market that we are solving? – Ocean observation technology is largely at prototype (TRL 7) stage and lacks certification appropriate for oil & gas operations

A network managed by Market Size & Growth The estimated turnover in the UK based marine science and technology business in 2012 is £1.35 billion, of which Oil & Gas makes up 40%, and the trend is upwards (Ref: Annual Review of UK Marine Scientific Industries 2012)

Ocean Observation & the Oil Industry A Simplified Supply Chain Diagram for Oil & Gas E&P Oil and gas exploration companies are operating in deeper, colder water for longer periods to extract oil and gas from new deep water prospects SectorSegmentServices based on Ocean Observation Oil and GasOffshoreOffshore Design Support Renewable EnergyOffshoreMetocean Information Services Marine Operations & Risk Environmental Assessment and Management

FINDINGS WP 5 Innovation through Industry SLR There is a market at this time for products and services developed by FIXO3 partners with mainly US and European national research agencies, military navies, coast guard agencies and the oil industry particularly in the area of environmental monitoring

Issues of Concern SectorSegmentProducts developed on Ocean Observatories Oil and GasOffshoreSubsea Communications (e.g. WiFi) Renewable EnergyOffshoreNew Sensor Technology High Definition Cameras & Subsea LED Lighting Anti-biofouling techniques Subsea Connectors Passive acoustic monitoring & data processing Innovative Products developed on Ocean Observatories applicable to Oil & Gas Deep Water Developments The problem for FIXO3 products and services in this market is that ocean observation technology is largely at prototype (TRL 7) stage and lacks certification appropriate for key market segments, such as oil & gas operations.

 Offer clear value proposition  Develop Technology Clusters with Industry  Obtain accreditation (e.g. DNV) – road testing  Develop IPR Agreements  Obtain a patent and then partner with an offshore oil and gas service supply company Solutions

RECOMMENDATIONS WP 5 Innovation through Industry SLR There is a need for the public sector to give a lead by including FIXO3 supplier companies in public procurement for ocean observation services FIXO3 supplier companies must ensure that their product and service is at the appropriate technology readiness level for deployment by industry FIXO3 supplier companies must have a clear value proposition for their customers FIXO3 supplier companies must concentrate their marketing efforts on Tier 3 customer companies

A network managed by Creating Value for Clients Improved sustainability/ HS&E – FixO3 products will provide innovative environmental monitoring tools to determine initial baseline and long term effects of oil and gas E&P activities Quantify anthropogenic influences of E&P activities (eg BP Angola DELOS, etc) Our clients – Environmental consultancies – International weather forecasting and marine sensor suppliers – Do you know them? Yes, Meteo Group, Fugro, Vaisala, Ifremer, Marine Institute etc Strategy - Partner with sensor manufacturers who have existing market access

RECOMMENDATIONS WP 5 Innovation through Industry SLR Task 5.3 Identify 5 innovative products and services FIXO3 suppliers that provide products developed on ocean observatories with potential application in the offshore oil and gas and renewable energy sectors will be interviewed and their commitment to commercialisation of their products assessed. Those willing to proceed will be advised on protection of their IPR prior to identifying potential partners and routes to market.

A network managed by Our Products Undersea observatory power and control systems Development of instrumented boards for the monitoring of the environment down to 6,000m UWS a tool especially designed for wave monitoring from a moving platform such as ships in transit or an FPSO or semi- submersible drilling rig. Glycocoat technology is designed to prevent biofilm formation at the very early stages by inhibiting the initial microbial binding interactions with the surface.
