PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA – 15 April 2026 – Pivotree Pty Ltd, a Western Australian offshore energy technology company, is pleased to announce that Christopher Merrick, co-founder of the Company and inventor of Pivotree’s core technology, will present at the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Workshop: Strengthening Marginal and Mature Field Ecosystems – Technology, Innovation, and Collaboration, taking place on 21-22 April 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Mr Merrick will present on how Pivotree is bringing to market a practical technology platform with the potential to unlock value from marginal and mature offshore fields through its conductor-supported mooring and integrated subsea production tree system.
The presentation will focus on the role of lower-cost, lower-complexity offshore production systems in improving project economics, reducing capital at risk and creating more agile development pathways for resources that may not be viable under conventional infrastructure-led development models.
Pivotree’s technology is designed to support appraisal, early production, marginal-field development, late-life asset extension and carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications. Following years of R&D, full-scale testing and independent technology qualification by DNV, Pivotree is now ready to deploy the system to offshore oil, gas and CCS projects.
