Delmar Systems, a Broussard-based mooring and subsea specialist, has created a new R&D team dedicated to developing innovative mooring and subsea technology.

According to the company, establishment of the R&D team will allow Delmar Systems to address its customer and market technology needs in the mooring and subsea fields with a full-time dedicated and focused effort.

Delmar has a long history of designing specialized equipment and tools to improve safety and efficiency in the offshore oil and gas industry, including the Delmar subsea connector, chain chaser stoppers, synthetic rope handling equipment, the OMNI-Max® anchor, and the recent Delmar Quick Release.

Customized software, such as the recently developed Del-3DM used for 3D simulation of rig moves and other installation activities, is also within the scope of the new group.

John Shelton, Delmar’s Engineering Manager, said: “We already have several new and exciting development projects underway to address the needs of temporary and permanent moorings in key market areas around the globe.”
