Pilot Finder™
Turning oil & gas challenges into pilot opportunities.
Innovative technology only creates value when it delivers in the field. We connect operators with the technology that can solve a problem or improve an operation, and give technology companies the field opportunity to prove it.
Overview
The problem owner and the solution provider, in one conversation
Pilot Finder™ connects oil & gas operators facing a technical, operational or commercial challenge, or looking to improve an area of their operation, with companies that have technology capable of delivering it.
Whether you have a problem to solve, a target to improve or a technology that needs its first field opportunity, we help connect the two.
For Operators
Access innovation without having to search for it
See technologies and companies you may not otherwise come across, matched to a problem you have or an improvement you want to make.
For Technology Companies
Get in front of the people who have the problem
Start from a genuine operational requirement and build the business case around a real application, at no cost to you.
For Both
Close the gap between innovation and adoption
We bring the problem owner and the solution provider together to explore whether there is a technically and commercially viable fit.
How it works
From first conversation to field trial
01
Share
Operators share a challenge or improvement goal. Technology companies share what they’ve developed. High-level details only.
02
Search
We review every submission and search our global network for the right fit, or go out and find one.
03
Introduce
Where there’s a potential match, we introduce both sides. Detailed discussions happen under a mutual NDA.
04
Pilot
We support both sides through trial scope, logistics and evaluation, so good technology gets its chance in the field.
For Operators
Solve a problem, or improve what already works
Every operator has challenges that don’t have an off-the-shelf answer. But Pilot Finder™ isn’t only for problems. If there’s an area of your operation where you want better cost, production or HSE performance, we’ll look for the technology that can deliver it.
Challenges you may be facing
- Reliability issues or equipment failures
- Difficult well conditions
- Production losses
- Long lead times or supply constraints
- Ageing technology
- A requirement existing technology doesn’t solve effectively
Areas you may want to improve
- Operating and intervention costs
- Production and recovery
- HSE performance and personnel exposure
- Run life and reliability
- Process efficiency and rig or offshore time
- Emissions and environmental targets
You don’t need to know the answer, just tell us the problem or the goal. Using our industry network, we’ll look for technologies, suppliers and innovators that could deliver a practical solution.
For Technology Companies
Have a technology that needs a field opportunity?
Developing a technology is only half the journey. The real challenge is finding the right operator, application and opportunity to prove it works, without the cost of building a regional presence first.
Whether you’re an established technology company, OEM, start-up or emerging innovator, tell us what you’ve developed and what problem it solves.
No upfront cost
It costs nothing to register your interest and there’s no obligation. Avoid the initial cash outlay of chasing opportunities in a new market on your own.
Real requirements, not cold sales
Start from a genuine operational requirement and build the business case around a real application, with operators who already have the problem.
Scale in the region, for less
When there’s a fit, we can continue as your team on the ground in the GCC, helping you grow without the cost of permanent staff or a local entity.
We’re interested in technology that delivers measurable improvement in cost, production, reliability, HSE, efficiency, sustainability or well performance. We’ll assess where it could fit and, where appropriate, introduce it to relevant contacts in our network.
