OTC

What OTC does

OTC (Offshore Technical Compliance LLC), founded in 2007 and headquartered in Covington, Louisiana, is a privately-held oil and gas compliance and digital technology firm serving the global offshore industry. The company operates from five offices—Covington and Houston in the United States, Oslo (Norway), Mexico City (Mexico), and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)—with active service delivery across the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East. OTC serves two primary customer verticals: offshore oil and gas operators (deepwater and shallow water) and drilling contractors, with secondary engagement from international oil companies and government regulators.

OTC's commercial offering is anchored by the GreenLight Suite, an integrated digital pressure testing (DPT) platform and the only DPT system globally to achieve DNV-RP-A203 Technology Qualification. The suite comprises GreenLight (core DPT engine with proprietary 'Analyst' predictive algorithms processing time-series pressure data), Blueprint (drag-and-drop test planning), Atlas (cloud-based remote real-time monitoring and KPI dashboards), and Leaflet (PDF report generation). Tests are stored in a proprietary binary file format readable only by OTC tools. Adjacent products include ARGUS (real-time BOP monitoring and subsea leak detection) and a patent-pending Multi-Test System that runs four independent tests simultaneously.

OTC monetizes through a mix of recurring software licensing (GreenLight subscription, quote-based enterprise pricing) and professional services revenue streams, including BSEE/SEMS compliance inspections, third-party engineering verification (via wholly-owned subsidiary OTC Solutions, formerly Northwest Technical Solutions acquired in 2017), IADC-accredited training programs, and the OTCcap Compliance Assessment Protocol. The company merged with Hecate Software in 2023 to internalize its core development team, and maintains strategic R&D and distribution partnerships with ModuSpec and MR Group's global network. The customer base consists of large enterprise offshore operators and drilling contractors served through direct field sales, industry events, and channel partnerships.

Core offering

OTC develops and sells the GreenLight Suite — a DNV RP A203-qualified Digital Pressure Testing (DPT) software platform used by offshore oil and gas operators and drilling contractors to conduct, analyze, and predict the outcome of pressure tests on well control equipment. The company complements its software with compliance, inspection, third-party verification, and IADC-accredited training services delivered globally from offices in the U.S., Norway, Mexico, and Malaysia.

Product overview

OTC positions itself as both a compliance services provider and a digital technology development company staffed by research scientists (PhDs in Computer Science and Physics) with 20 years of hard-environment innovation. Its primary product portfolio is the GreenLight Suite — an integrated digital pressure testing platform comprising GreenLight (the core DPT engine with proprietary 'Analyst' algorithms that predict test outcomes in real time), Blueprint (test planning/drawing software), Atlas (remote real-time monitoring and KPI assessment), and Leaflet (PDF report generation). The ARGUS platform provides subsea leak detection and real-time BOP monitoring. A Multi-Test System feature enables four simultaneous independent tests. The company also offers Digital Solutions (RTM, DPT, R&D) and Compliance Services (inspections, third-party verification, training) to the global offshore oil and gas industry.

Products and services

• GreenLight Digital Pressure Testing Software The primary Digital Pressure Testing (DPT) software suite for offshore oil and gas operators and drilling contractors. It conducts, analyzes, and predicts the outcome of pressure tests for well control equipment (BOPs, choke manifolds, casing, control lines, risers, MPD equipment) using proprietary 'Analyst' algorithms. Achieves results in less than half the time of traditional circle chart methods and is the only DPT system to achieve DNV RP A203 Technical Qualification.
• Blueprint Test Planning Software Stand-alone palette-driven drawing software for designing test plans of BOP and choke manifold components. Users drag-and-drop components from palettes, connect them with pipes, define test pressures, and automatically trace pressure throughout the system for each test scenario.
• Atlas Real-Time Monitoring Platform Cloud-based platform offering remote real-time monitoring of pressure tests, digital cataloging of test data, and key performance indicator (KPI) assessments. Provides rig personnel with efficient expert analysis and enables regulatory authorities to access test data remotely without being physically on the rig.
• Leaflet Reporting Software Report generation tool that creates PDF reports from the binary data files generated by GreenLight and the test plan images generated by Blueprint. Reports begin with a summary of all tests performed.
• ARGUS BOP and Subsea Leak Detection Platform Real-time BOP monitoring and high-fidelity subsea leak detection system. Monitors blowout preventer performance continuously for predictive maintenance and rapid issue resolution; DNV-qualified for BOP monitoring capabilities.
• GreenLight Multi-Test System Capability within the GreenLight suite enabling four independent pressure tests to be conducted simultaneously. Condenses what would traditionally take four hours of sequential testing into approximately one hour, particularly beneficial for completions stage testing.
• Compliance Services Range of professional services including OTCap (Compliance Assessment Protocol), inspection and acceptance services, third-party verification of compliance, international regulatory proxy services, and IADC-accredited compliance training courses (offshore drilling and marine regulatory compliance).
• OTCap Compliance Assessment Protocol Compliance Assessment Protocol — a systematic approach to evaluating operational compliance against BSEE and other regulatory frameworks, identifying gaps and recommending corrective actions.
• OTC Solutions Third-Party Verification Third-party verification of compliance for well control equipment, delivered by a registered professional engineering firm (formerly Northwest Technical Solutions, now OTC Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary).
