Offshore Technical Compliance Awarded DNV Technology Qualification For GreenLight Software Suite

Offshore Technical Compliance LLC (OTC), a leader in delivering regulatory compliance services and digital technology solutions to the global oil and gas industry, has been awarded a DNV-RP-A203 technology qualification for its GreenLight digital pressure testing software suite.

Mike Bethea, CEO, OTC, explained, “GreenLight can be used to plan, conduct, analyze and document a wide variety of pressure tests, not just those specific to blowout preventers (BOPs). We chose to proceed with DNV for independent third-party assessment of GreenLight and the extremely rigorous technology qualification process began with them in March 2022.”

Eric Livesay, president, OTC, said, “The DNV-RP-A203 technology qualification process included describing the technology and identifying all non-novel and novel aspects. The digital pressure testing technology enables us to predict the future behavior of the pressure curve. This capability is extremely novel, and was therefore one of the main areas of focus. Real and simulated field data were shared, and the software was witnessed by DNV working in the field.”

OTC provided a significant amount of evidence to demonstrate that the various risks associated with all novel aspects were fully understood, managed, and mitigated. Following assessment of this data, and a series of individual interviews with all those involved, DNV was ultimately satisfied that the software’s operation, deployment, and maintenance was thoroughly understood by all involved and OTC had established a homogenous way of operating.

Bethea added, “The end result of this extremely rigorous process is that OTC is now the only compliance company with the worldwide, quality guarantee of a DNV technology qualification, which provides our clients with the assurance that the system delivers reliable results verified by the respected scientists and researchers at DNV. The software now also includes the most reliable advanced leak detection capabilities in the industry.”
