The Statement of Maturity means that after tests and validation, the technology is qualified to be incorporated into a production unit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laurent Le Touz\u00e9, SBM Offshore\u2019s Technology &#038; Product Development Director said: \u201cSWIR\u2019s development reflects SBM Offshore\u2019s innovation leadership and its commitment to supporting the emission reduction journey. SWIR is an important step in our low-carbon roadmap: the project began as an in-house concept in 2014 and advanced through a multi-year, multi-party effort, including a development partnership with Shell and research input from academic institutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This milestone follows the successful completion of a six-month prototype qualification campaign in 2025, witnessed by ABS, Shell and Petrobras. The NTQ confirms that the SWIR design complies with ABS safety and regulatory standards \u2014 a key step toward deployment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCompleting the prototype validation stage is a testament to the strength of our collaborative relationship with SBM Offshore and our collective dedication to engineering excellence and safety. ABS is proud to support forward-thinking solutions that will refine and elevate the next generation&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brazilenergyinsight.com\/2026\/05\/27\/sbm-offshores-swir-technology-receives-abs-statement-of-maturity\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SBM Offshore\u2019s SWIR Technology Receives ABS Statement of Maturity \u2013 Brazil Energy Insight https:\/\/brazilenergyinsight.com\/2026\/05\/27\/sbm-offshores-swir-technology-receives-abs-statement-of-maturity\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":256802,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/brazilenergyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ccf37-sbmoffshore-159707.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,62,78],"class_list":["post-256801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-energy","tag-innovation","tag-oil"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256801"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256801"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":256803,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256801\/revisions\/256803"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
