Member News: THREE60 Energy, Innovair and Oil States Announce Strategic Alliance for Caisson Integrity Management

Aberdeen – 17th of February 2026 – THREE60 Energy, Innovair, and Oil States are pleased to announce a strategic alliance to deliver integrated solutions for caisson integrity management in the global oil and gas sector. The collaboration combines proven inspection, engineering, and repair expertise to provide a seamless, end-to-end service that enhances safety, assures compliance, optimises operational efficiency and reduces lifecycle cost and complexity for operators.

Managing caisson integrity is a significant challenge for operators of ageing offshore oil and gas assets, as it presents both safety and operational risks and involves complex assessment and repair processes. The alliance builds on THREE60 Energy’s Engineering, Procurement, Construction & Commissioning (EPCC) capabilities, Innovair’s advanced inspection technologies, and Oil States’ field experience in repair and installation. Together the team provides a unified workflow from development and delivery of inspection programmes, engineering and implementation of remedial scopes. Each company contributes a distinct specialist capability, giving operators access to a comprehensive, integrated managed service delivered through a single point of accountability, providing a more streamlined and efficient service to clients. With proven capability across mature basins such as the North Sea and an extensive international footprint, the alliance can deliver integrated caisson solutions globally.

Innovair brings high-precision scanning, sensing, and robotics solutions to intelligently deliver reliable inspection data. THREE60 Energy translates these insights into engineering solutions and oversees project delivery, while Oil States offers proprietary products ensuring repairs, refurbishment, and replacements are carried out safely and efficiently.

The three companies have already demonstrated the value of this model through an ongoing integrated inspection-to-repair project for a global operator in the North Sea, which formed the basis for the alliance. The offering is available as a standalone caisson integrity service or as part of an integrated EPCC solution, reflecting commitment to flexible and responsive support across the asset lifecycle.

Alasdair Smith, Managing Director of EPCC at THREE60 Energy, said:

“This alliance brings together the best of three companies, combining Innovair’s technology, Oil States’ proven operational expertise, and THREE60 Energy’s engineering and project delivery capability. Together, we offer clients a comprehensive solution for managing caisson integrity safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.”

Stuart Lawson, Solutions Director of Innovair, said:

“By integrating our inspection technology with engineering and operational expertise of THREE60 Energy and Oil States, we are redefining the way caisson integrity can be managed across the industry.”

Garry Stephen, Group Vice President, UK and Asia of Oil States, said:

“This alliance builds on our experience in repair and installation services and provides clients with a trusted, end-to-end solution. By working closely with Innovair and THREE60 Energy, we can ensure safe and efficient maintenance and upgrades for caissons worldwide.”

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
