Clean-tech investment will reduce environmental and safety risks at oil and gas well operations


Western Innovation Initiative funding will help commercialize the inVision Intervention System  

RED DEER, AB, Feb. 22, 2018 /CNW/ - Intelligent Wellhead Systems is receiving $1.1 million towards a clean technology innovation that will enhance environmental and safety measures in oil and gas recovery.

The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for Western Economic Diversification Canada, announced the funding today.

Funding will allow Intelligent Wellhead Systems to scale up manufacturing of the inVision Intervention System product lines. Globally, this unique technology is installed at on- and offshore critical well intervention operations. It enhances the on-site safety of operators and helps protect the surrounding environment. The inVision technology is a wellhead, or blowout preventer component, that integrates into most high-risk, large asset operation configurations and uses big data to measure efficiencies and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As the only company offering this type of service, Intelligent Wellhead Systems is seeing rapid adoption of this new technology by the global oil and gas industry.

The Western Innovation (WINN) Initiative provides $100 million in repayable contributions to small- and medium-sized companies in Western Canada. Eligible companies can apply for funding to support activities that move ideas to market more quickly.
