Acquisition to Strengthen Market Position with Consolidation in Supply Chain

With the inclusion of Astori’s technology and expertise into their team, 4Subsea further solidifies its position as an independent vendor helping operators optimise offshore operations with new technology and digital services.

“With this acquisition we are building upon our strategy of delivering leading-edge monitoring and maintenance services that provide significant business value to operators – all the way from the reservoir to deck.

Digital Twins for Prediction Analysis and Improved Decision Support

4Subsea will investigate the opportunities of further digitising Astori’s subsea control modules, in the same way they have developed digital twins for subsea production and drilling. Building on sensor data from both their own and third-party sensors and by using advanced algorithms and machine learning, 4Subsea’s domain experts provide a digital service for significantly improved decision support to operators.

“Our digital services help operators “know it before it happens” – so that they can act accordingly and perform minor repairs and maintenance, without risking replacing expensive equipment or production shutdown.”
– Peter Jenkins, CEO of 4Subsea
