UPDATE: 4:21 p.m.

Digitization is among the biggest themes at OTC 2019, and ARC Specialties (booth #705) just sent over a photo giving a behind-the-scenes look at an interview its team did on the subject. Automation is keeping offshore rigs safer, while also providing much-needed data to the oil and gas industry.

UPDATE: 3:54 p.m.

Stress Engineering just submitted to MarketScale a photo of the company accepting a Spotlight on New Technology award at OTC today. It was honored for developing a new process to assess offshore riser data. This helps oil and gas companies determine the strength and health of their subsea infrastructure.

UPDATE: 3:21 p.m.

Orion Instruments Manager of Engineering, Projects and Documentation Rick Lawrence sent in a photo of the company’s booth, which it is sharing with parent company Magnetrol.

Lawrence spoke with MarketScale on Tuesday about the state of downstream infrastructure and what the industry is doing to safely and more efficiently refine oil. Make sure to catch our extended interview soon!

UPDATE: 1:16 p.m.

Siemens Energy was awarded two new technology awards at OTC today. A representative from the company sent us live looks at the company’s booth this afternoon.

Stay tuned for our extended interviews with Bid Team Group Manager Torben Rasmussen and Global Head of Portfolio Management and Innovation Stig Settemsdal coming out soon!

UPDATE: 12:25 p.m.

At the Oceaneering booth, (#2060) the Freedom remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is attracting a large crowd. The Freedom is helping oil and gas companies monitor pipelines and rigs below sea level while also taking workers away from hazardous situations.

Day three at OTC is underway at NRG Park in Houston, Texas! There is still plenty to explore, and we have received this update from Neil Slater, Head of Events and Sponsorship for DNV GL.

At booth 4253, DNV GL is giving tutorials on its virtual reality platform. The technology is used to train oil and gas professionals on the challenges, duties, risks and security measures they need to know about before heading offshore.

Solar panels installed in 2020 could supply 21% of solar silver by 2035

Solar panels installed in 2020 could supply 21% of solar silver by 2035

Recycling solar panels installed in 2020 could supply up to 21% of the silver needed for new panel production by 2035. Technical advances are making panel recycling more economic. Buyers and asset owners can start modeling recycled supply and retirement value.

  • 01Panels installed in 2020 could supply up to 21% of the silver needed for solar panel production in 2035, a 15-year lag that suggests recycled supply could be estimated from installation records.
  • 02European researchers estimate recycling could cover about 25% of cobalt and 15% of lithium, nickel and manganese supply by 2030.
  • 03A recycler's recovery rate means little without its purity: TNO's laser process reported roughly 97% yield with silver at 99.7% purity, the pairing that tells a manufacturer whether the metal is usable.

Massachusetts queue delays put 2027 solar tax credits at risk

Massachusetts queue delays put 2027 solar tax credits at risk

Catalyst Power says interconnection delays are now a tax-credit risk, not just a schedule risk. In Massachusetts, a project tied to a 2029 transmission upgrade could miss the Dec. 31, 2027 deadline that SEIA says now governs many solar projects, putting 30% to 50% of ITC value at risk.

  • 01SEIA says solar projects that begin construction after July 4, 2026 must be placed in service by Dec. 31, 2027.
  • 02FERC's cluster-study reforms set study deadlines and late-study penalties, but they do not guarantee a needed grid upgrade finishes before a project's tax clock runs out.

Only 33% of utility executives call asset management advanced, IFS survey finds

Only 33% of utility executives call asset management advanced, IFS survey finds

Fifty-seven percent of utility executives call AI critical to cutting costs. Only 33% rate their asset lifecycle management as advanced, and 49% report operational data silos.

  • 01Fifty-seven percent of utility executives call AI critical to cutting costs, but only 33% rate the asset management that AI would run on as advanced.
  • 02Half of executives say asset management runs in silos with limited predictive capability, suggesting early AI spend may go to data integration before models.
  • 03Pew says grid modernization capex is pressuring rates; it also says using DERs via virtual power plants could serve peak demand at 40%–60% of traditional costs and help defer or avoid some infrastructure upgrades.
