With MMS’s recently enacted requirement for oil and gas producers operating in U.S. waters to mark temporarily abandoned wells or sub-sea locations, our GPS smart buoy is perfect for identifying these sites. We can have our GPS systems installed on any type of buoy.

Our buoys are all high performance, steel buoys that are rugged enough for use even in rough sea conditions. The GPS unit is satellite up-linked directly through our company’s website to maintain the status and health of your buoys position, light status, and battery voltage. We monitor your buoy’s position twice daily and if your buoy ever moves off station you are notified immediately of its exact position. The unique aspect of our system is that our customers can log onto their buoy and see it transposed onto a nautical chart and get its Lat./Long. whenever they need to paying only a low-cost, flat, fixed monthly rate. There are no per position reports as some of our competitors provide.

With no antenna affixed to the buoy that can break or be damaged, you can be assured that your buoy’s monitoring system is virtually maintenance free, and with the options of voltage and lighting performance you can also be assured of the buoy’s operational status. All of our lighted buoys are custom designed to your specifications with a lighting system, solar array, and radar reflective day-marks. Give us a call to answer any questions you may have about our different package arrangements available for sale or rental.equipment.

BL-620 / 58/14 Buoy / Pipeline and Shallow Water Buoys / Deck Equipment/Winches / Mobile Buoy Recovery System / Mooring Buoys- SB and BDB Systems

	The B/L 620 Buoy is an outstanding buoy for marking obstructions and for navigation channels. It is custom built as per your needs and can include a solar array, 3-mile light, GPS system, fog signal and battery package. The buoy body is made of steel plate and the eyes for the bridal moorings are welded directly to the body of the buoy. The day-mark is constructed of mutually perpendicular planes so that it can also act as an efficient radar reflector. This buoy, with a normal 6 year maintenance cycle of blasting and painting has an expected life of 20-25 years. When moored properly this buoy is capable of weathering even hurricane force winds and sea conditions. (link to pdf. drawing)
	The 58/14 Buoy is our mid-sized marker buoy used for water depths of less than 250’. It is constructed of steel and aluminum and is custom designed to have several options you require, including a solar array, 3-mile light, GPS system, and battery package. The day mark for this buoy also is a great radar reflector for maritime traffic. The 58/14 is made using a steel ball buoy with a diameter of 58” and a completed total length of 14’. These buoys have had no problem withstanding sea conditions including 60 mph winds and 20+ foot seas. Several of our 58/14 buoys were still moored after the hurricane 2005 season even within 20 miles of Katrina’s and Rita’s direct paths. These buoys are designed to be a durable and economical system, and they deliver results. (see link to pdf drawing)
	Pipeline and Shallow Water Buoys Using Wet Tech Energy’s small lighted shallow water and pipeline marker buoys, our customers have the ability to efficiently mark their hazards with a lighted buoy in water depths of less than 100’ in a compact, quick response, and cost effective solution. Even if only temporarily, operators and producers can comply with the USCG and MMS policies while they await a larger more permanent buoy solution. These buoys can be transported in a helicopter and can be easily installed from a small crew or utility boat. Call us for prices and delivery.
	Deck Equipment/Winches Using Cross Services (link) Wet Tech Energy is partnered up to have the skill and the ability of using the best and heaviest work load winches in the Gulf. Combined with our MBRS and other deck equipment (tuggers, compressors, and rigging tools) Wet Tech Energy has provided and installed anchors of up to 30,000 lbs in heavy sea conditions with a 100% success and incident free record.
	The Mobile Buoy Recovery System was engineered and constructed as a mobile A-frame capable of lifting and recovering buoys and mooring anchors up to 10 Tons. It is easily mobilized onto a utility vessel with an open stern gate and is utilized to recover buoys effectively, safely, and without causing damage to the lighting system, the buoy hull, solar array or to the GPS system. The MBRS can also used for buoy deployments where it is critical for the anchor blocks to be lowered down slowly near sub-sea wells or hazardous areas. Our MBRS saves our customers both time and money compared to utilizing the existing alternative installation and recovery methods. Give us a call to answer any questions you may have about our MBRS.
	Mooring Buoys- Stand By and Back Down Systems With today’s offshore oilfields being filled with multiple structures and satellite platforms, having a stand-by buoy moored for field vessels to tie up to can be critical for quick responses to emergencies, safety, and convenience. With Wet Tech Energy’s mooring buoys, you have the option to rent or purchase these systems at a competitive price/rate and utilize our installation services to install and recover these systems at a cost much lower than the competition.
	Utilizing open stern supply vessels, our deck equipment and the Mobile Buoy Deployment Recovery System (MBDRS) instead of the traditional expensive anchor handling vessels (AHV), Wet Tech Energy can handle all phases of getting a stand-by buoy or a back-down buoy system installed in a safe, convenient location in your field. From initial planning, survey, design, supply, transportation, and installation, we can customize a system to meet and exceed your needs. Call us for a full quotation on a specific system that meets your requirements.
	Benefits .Convenient for field vessels to safely moor to rather than tying up to platforms which can cause damage to the vessels and structures themselves Custom designed and engineered to hold secure rig support vessels for drilling operations Lighted systems available for easy location in the field and/or fairway systems Strong mooring systems with anchors up to 30,000 lbs (15T) available for deployment No more costly anchor vessels on the payroll- most systems can be installed using an open stern supply vessel with day-rates between $8,000 – 19,000 day vs. $20,000- 60,000 + a day for AHV’s Safe and experienced installation crews .The ability to share costs with other customers to split the vessel costs, installation rates and other 3rd party costs One call and we can handle all planning, design, implementation, and final job reports Creating a mooring destination for your field that increases response times to emergencies and frequent vessel usage
