In a modern, integrated energy portfolio, maintaining subsea integrity has never been more important to uphold existing infrastructure and drive forward new energy developments. As the industry stands poised for transformative advancements, staying ahead of the curve sits is crucial for a sustainable and resilient energy future.
That’s where you’ll find Elementz. We always stay ahead of the curve and our team continually identifies key trends, technological breakthroughs, and challenges that will shape the future of subsea asset integrity software.
The prize of transforming as part of a wider digital eco-system is significant with the potential to reduce operational costs by over 40% but this means an evolving role for the Subsea Integrity Engineer who now sits at the forefront of adopting, adapting and integrating advanced technologies to modernise and optimise workflows – but they are faced with barriers and challenges in data, integration, and standardisation.
Against this backdrop, Elementz was created in 2024 and is 100% dedicated to delivering the right solutions in the right places at the right times, tackling these challenges head on. Elementz enhances the speed and quality of the entire integrity cycle by prioritising the user, leveraging their expertise and delivering an offering that seamlessly integrates into a broader digital ecosystem, driving efficiency in subsea operations and solving real problems for customers.
Our principles prioritise the need to break away from traditional, incumbent practices. By focusing on industry challenges, ensuring continuous integration, and creating openness within the overall subsea workflow, we stand alone in developing solutions that are effective, and transformative.
Central to that is looking ahead to see, understand and react to how our industry is evolving and, in 2025, that will include a rapid transition by operators from siloed software solutions to unified, interoperable ecosystems. These digital ecosystems will provide a single, comprehensive view of operations, breaking down barriers between departments and technologies. They will drive efficiency, reduce costs, and improve decision-making by providing trusted, actionable insights. By laying the foundation for adopting and adapting to more complex twin-enabled and AI-powered operations, the ecosystems will foster a culture of collaboration and innovation.
Additionally, SaaS providers that generate valuable data will evolve by incorporating AI and other advanced plug-ins. This will empower operators to customise solutions to meet specific workflows and integration requirements, moving beyond a one-size-fits-all approach.
AI will disrupt traditional SaaS models by enabling automation and personalisation. This will lower costs, increase efficiency, and make solutions more adaptable. Operators will prioritise systems that allow t leveraging of core data for tailored workflows and decision-making processes.
As AI and analytics dominate, data engineers will become the backbone of operational success. They professionals will design and maintain the robust data infrastructure required to support integrated digital ecosystems and advanced systems.
Without clean, organised, and accessible data, AI and other advanced technologies cannot function effectively. Data engineers will ensure seamless data flows, enabling organisations to scale their digital operations and make smarter, faster decisions.
Marine robotics and autonomous systems will become the standard for maintenance, inspection, and monitoring activities, revolutionising how the subsea industry operates.
The benefits are undeniable: these technologies are less costly, less hazardous, more flexible, and more efficient. This revolution will be powered by open, collaborative efforts between key technology and software providers.
Traditional operations teams will evolve to include roles like digital twin specialists, autonomous systems operators, and sustainability managers. These teams will rapidly adopt and adapt advanced technologies rather than relying on manual, field-based processes. These new roles will be essential for maintaining modern subsea portfolios. By improving efficiency, reducing risk, and aligning operations with sustainability goals, these teams will ensure operators remain competitive in a dynamic and ever-changing energy environment.
We are ready for a transformative year in the subsea industry. The landscape is shifting towards a smarter, more efficient future with the rise of AI, unified digital ecosystems and new operational roles. At Elementz, we’re proud to be at the forefront of these changes, enabling our clients to adapt, innovate, and thrive.
So, if you’re wondering how to find us, look for the curve and we’ll be just ahead of it. Come and join us.
