National Oilwell Varco
Statement:
MERA has successfully field tested and installed HPFS/FFU`s on several 6th generation drilling rigs (Odfjell, Seadrill, Transocean, Stena Drilling). As the only technology on the marked to generate circulation in fluids used in hydro-pneumatic systems, whilst pressurized and in operation, National Oilwell Varco has integrated it into multiple drilling sub-systems designs.
Seadrill
Vessels & Technology:
- West Phoenix, – Delivered fluid maintenance systems on all cranes and thrusters. HPFS installed on drill deck.
- West Elara, – Delivered fluid maintenance systems on main cranes.
- West Venture, – HPFS installed on drill deck
- West Polaris, – HPFS installed on drill deck
Island Offshore
Statement:
Condition monitoring is the key factor to performing CBM. A good CM solution qualifies for full integration and systemization, not stand alone sensors. Structured condition information export made possible with Mera IMS system.

Technip
Statements:
- “Having the capability of seeing hydraulic oil condition in real time and having alarms set to provide warnings, has vastly improved our reliability of our equipment”
- “Being able to find problems in their early stages gives the ability to maintain the fault and manage the problem so that it can be repaired at our convenience and at a time that fits in with the vessel schedule”
- “Having a standard system is of high importance to how we operate our fleet and the Mera system certainly fits that bill. The system is relatively easy to install, easy to understand/operate and reliable”
Statoil
Statement:
Study’s and tests confirms an reduction in downtime and unforeseen maintenance on riser tensioning and motion compensating systems, by installing HPFS/FFU`s.
