Terradepth has officially launched Absolute Ocean, a cloud-native geospatial platform for offshore energy users. 

Purpose-built to host complex maritime data, Absolute Ocean provides web-browser based access to ocean maps. 

Subsea data collected for stakeholders can be shared, visualized, and collaborated on in near real-time, empowering smarter decisions and ensuring sustainable growth in challenging marine environments.

As the offshore energy sector continues to navigate the greater energy transition, there is more pressure to optimize resources and minimize costs while keeping data secure. 

The software operates in the cloud and can ingest diverse types of data, including bathymetric surveys, sonar scans, and video footage. 

By centralizing and simplifying subsea data access for teams, the secure platform offers visibility into the critical information they need to drive success.

Key Benefits of the Absolute Ocean Platform

Enhanced Decision-Making
Absolute Ocean centralizes seabed mapping, asset tracking, and environmental data in one secure platform. This enables leaders to make informed decisions swiftly and with precision.

Cross-Team Collaboration
Absolute Ocean’s cloud architecture promotes seamless collaboration between offshore and onshore teams. Data processing personnel can work anywhere in the world and concurrently to data collection to accelerate workflows. 

With a shared, up-to-date data set, stakeholders maintain alignment, greatly reducing timelines and improving the quality of decision-making across teams.

Risk & Environmental Management
The platform can visualize terrain data collected over time allowing management to anticipate and respond to environmental conditions, track changes, detect tampering and safeguard both assets and the marine ecosystem.

Joe Wolfel, CEO of Terradepth, commented, “Critical ocean data has historically taken days to months to get to decision makers. Now, using the Absolute Ocean platform our users are able to share and access visualized data within 24 hours. 

“Current systems can take weeks to realize actionable data. Our offshore partners in petroleum and wind are enabled to access their data in near real-time from any location on our new platform. This leads to safer, more cost-effective, and more environmentally conscious operations.”
