Technology Ethos

Proserv has successfully completed a sponsor-backed management buyout (MBO), and is introducing an employee ownership scheme, marking a significant milestone in the company’s 60-year history.

Led by CEO Davis Larssen and CFO Mark Fraser, the multi-million pound deal is backed by GIIL, a UK-based investment vehicle of Glenn Inniss, the founder and owner of the GII Finance Group. For the past two years, GIIL (through its subsidiary GII Finance Group), has supported the financing of the business alongside investment funds and accounts managed by its existing shareholders Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) and KKR.

As a result of the transaction, both Oaktree and KKR have exited their equity holdings in Proserv, with Piper Sandler serving as exclusive corporate finance advisor to the sellers.

Proserv, a leading provider of cutting-edge control technologies to energy companies, has today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Verlume, a leader in intelligent energy management and subsea power solutions for the offshore energy sector. The MoU outlines an agreement to explore collaborative opportunities in the subsea power and renewable sectors, bringing innovative technologies to the rapidly evolving clean energy market.

Under the terms of the MoU, Proserv and Verlume will integrate Proserv’s subsea control and communications systems with Verlume’s energy management and battery technology to improve the efficiency of subsea power delivery.

This enhanced level of system integration will reduce energy consumption by as much as 50% and significantly improve operational flexibility, reliability and reduce costs. By utilising an integrated approach, a unique market offering will be created which aims to provide reliable power to remote, subsea assets.

Together, the companies will explore potential projects that leverage their combined expertise to secure new business, enhance efficiency, and support the global transition to sustainable energy.

The MoU formalizes the commitment between Proserv and Verlume to work together, with the goal of delivering more efficient energy solutions to the market. The partnership will focus on integrating their respective technologies to create value-added opportunities that support both organizations’ growth within the energy transition.

ECG™ safeguards the continuity of offshore wind operations for stable clean power generation to six million UK homes

In what is believed to be a global industry-first, Proserv’s advanced Electro Cable Guard (ECG™) will de-risk offshore wind operations at the third phase of Dogger Bank Wind Farm by identifying signs of transmission cable failure far earlier, allowing proactive measures to be carried out to avoid costly outages.

Under a contract with DEME, the subsea controls technology specialist will deploy its proprietary game-changing technology at the third phase of what will become the world’s largest wind farm once operational, enhancing asset reliability through earlier failure detection and prevention.

Strategic move follows agreement signed late in 2022 which saw SMS become Proserv’s exclusive agent and representative in the Southeast Asian country. Proserv and SMS announced the rollout of a new Sampling Service Centre, strategically located at SMS’s facility in Kemaman Supply Base (KSB), Terengganu, Malaysia.

OEM partner collaboration allows Proserv to incorporate Viper Innovations’ V-LIM and V-SLIM electrical line integrity monitoring equipment to assess the insulation resistance (IR) of cables, as well as activate its V-LIFE Insulation Resistance Recovery preventative and active healing solution, within its cutting-edge energy production control systems and related services.

The deal sees SMS become the exclusive agent and representative for Proserv’s sampling activities across Malaysia.

MOU allows Proserv to incorporate its cutting-edge energy production control systems alongside Trendsetter’s state-of-the-art pressure protection systems, including its cornerstone high integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS), connection systems and manifolds.

A market first for the oil and gas industry, Proserv’s innovative technologies offers a 20% saving on environmental impact.
