The establishment of KOMtech in early 2007 underscores Keppel O&M’s commitment to enhance its investments in long-term research.
KOMtech will complement and augment the work of the three technology units currently within Keppel O&M – OTD, which focuses on jackup rigs and rig components; DTG – which focuses on semisubmersibles and other floating structures; and MTD, which focuses on specialised OSVs and tugboats.
KOMtech will research on areas not covered by the technology units such as new technologies that will have long-term business impact. These will include design and development of rigs for the Arctic regions, subsea productions, critical equipment and miniaturisation of topsides.
The launch of KOMtech has bolstered Keppel O&M’s technology strategy, geared to enable Keppel O&M to provide reliable and affordable solutions. The strategy focuses on four inter-related aspects – commercial viability, customer needs, knowledge building and process improvement.
