Wood Group has signed an extension to its collaborative agreement with Canadian technology company Librestream Technologies to continue its exclusive industry partnership, providing advanced digitally-enabled solutions for oil and gas customers.
The agreemen has been extended for a further 12 months and combines Wood Group’s industry domain knowledge with Librestream’s real-time mobile video collaboration digital technology.
Under the agreement, Wood Group and Librestream have developed a growing suite of innovative solutions for delivery excellence from desktop to worksite.
One such solution is Wood Group’s eXpert technology which has been successfully deployed on behalf of major operators on work sites in the UK, US, Canada and Middle East in the last six months. This technology connects specialists based onshore directly with the remote worksite, via real-time audio and visual display, to review issues and collaborate on a resolution.
The solution not only reduces time for problem solving and resulting implementation, but saves on costs associated with mobilisation and shutdown, at offshore and remote locations.
“We believe innovation is the gateway to increased performance, economic recovery and growth in the oil and gas industry,” said Steve Wayman, executive president, strategy and development at Wood Group.
“By investing in leading-edge digital solutions for the oil and gas market and leveraging our partner Librestream’s technology portfolio, we are enhancing our service offering and delivering more efficient solutions to clients from desktop to worksite,” added Wayman.
“Our eWorking program is already proving that it enables a step change in our performance, enhancing expert communication with remote, hostile and often hazardous worksites,” said Wayman.
“Empowering workers with digital tools designed for rapid response in rugged field environments is our key mission. Combining Wood Group’s industry expertise with our technology delivers high productivity gains for remote workers. We are pleased that our expanded partnership with Wood Group will develop further digital capabilities that improve the worker’s day,” said Kerry Thacher, chief executive and founder of Librestream.
