Astro Technology

Astro Technology is the leading provider of instrumentation and monitoring solutions in the Gulf of Mexico. We continue to innovate and advance our field proven technologies to provide our clients with a competitive advantage. We pioneered fiber-optic sensing technology in the oil and gas industry, and we have set a number of industry milestones. F... or example, in 1997 we were the first to measure pressure and strain on a subsea tieback on Troika, requiring that we design and create a data acquisition system to support such measurements. We also led the industry in using fiber-optic sensing systems to monitor Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) on deepwater risers. And we have monitored a 56-mile tieback for flow assurance properties in deepwater. Our expertise includes: Measuring pressure, temperature, strain, and flow properties of subsea equipment, including pipelines, risers, trees and wellheads Instrumenting pipelines over 60 miles long at over 7,500-foot depths Monitoring for leaks and other properties in the deepest, highest, hottest, and coldest conditions on record, including temperatures under -321 F and over 6000 F. Deploying our technology in advanced robotics, solid rocket motors, race cars, bridges, and the energy industry for offshore, LNG, and wind applications. As the authority on fiber-optic sensing technologies and solutions, we provide our clients with the information they need to increase the integrity of equipment and enhance their competitiveness. This is critical as off-shore drilling and production move into increasingly deep waters. We are committed to helping our clients reduce environmental risk and increase operational safety. To further support the industry, we have teamed with NASA and energy industry experts to advance our cutting-edge Trident Subsea® technology.Read More
