The firm has entered into agreements to collaborate with a number of global oil and gas operators to apply its predictive analysis service to their offshore assets.

Since the start of 2020, Opex has bolstered its team with a further ten members of staff, to fulfil the increased demand for its services. These roles are spread across the business, from data analysts and data scientists, to software developers and oil and gas domain experts.

“By investing heavily in R&D over the next year, we are demonstrating our commitment to continually enhancing the technology we use to help our customers improve performance, reduce costs and achieve compliance.”
