The collaboration between ModuSpec and Offshore Technical Compliance (OTC) is well established, providing operators with integrated real-time monitoring (RTM) and digital pressure testing (DPT) capabilities.
With both ModuSpec’s RTM and OTC’s DPT having received Statements of Technology Qualification from DNV, this independent verification further reinforces the value of these technologies in supporting BOP integrity assurance.
A unified approach to BOP monitoring and testing
Together, the RTM and DPT solutions provide a single, integrated workflow for BOP monitoring and testing:
- ModuSpec RTM – Continuous visibility into BOP systems, supported by expert interpretation and structured assurance processes.
- OTC DPT – Digital pressure testing for accurate, traceable diagnostics of BOP equipment.
The award of Technology Qualification by DNV confirms that both technologies have been independently assessed against recognised standards for robustness and reliability, supporting their use within live operational environments.
The value of DNV Technology Qualification
DNV-RP-A203 Technology Qualification provides assurance that RTM and DPT are suitable for operational use and support expert-led monitoring and testing workflows. Benefits include:
- Independent validation of technology performance
- Confidence in the accuracy, integrity and traceability of data
- Support for proactive BOP integrity management and risk mitigation
Together, these qualified technologies support operators in:
- Identifying potential BOP issues early
- Reducing unnecessary testing or interventions
- Improving efficiency in well integrity related activities, with demonstrated time savings in certain applications
- Enhancing leaks detection and anomaly reporting
- Reducing non-productive time (NPT) through faster, informed decision-making
By combining qualified technologies with expert oversight, operators can maintain BOP integrity while supporting safe and efficient operations.
Ongoing assurance in the field
The qualification of both RTM and DPT serves as an ongoing reminder of their reliability and value. By integrating real-time monitoring, digital pressure testing and expert interpretation, operators are better equipped to respond to BOP integrity indicators and maintain consistent, assured performance in the field.
