Research & Development

Over the last 25 years TEASistemi carried over 90 R&D projects supported by industry partners and the European Union

.

TEASistemi also supported with own founds a number of projects.
In the meantime the Company has produced more than 100 technical papers and 11 patents.


Our R&D Projects

During the years TEASistemi was involved on several large research and development projects,

both cofounded by institution and directly funded by private companies (ENI, ABB, COSTACURTA),ranging from downhole equipment design to new separator concept development. In most of cases, TEASISTEMI was managing also the patenting phase of project results, both for proprietary and third party inventions.

CUBE Project - now RAPID CUBE

"Let's take the big accident at Macondo, which spread crude oil throughout the entire Gulf of Mexico. There, a large steel bell was used to suck up the uncontrolled spill from the submarine well. But as methane also escaped with the oil thousands of meters below the sea, the latter froze in the bell, forming methane hydrates and put it out of use. We, however, with Eni have developed Cube, patented in 2010 just a few days after the big accident. An emergency bell-shaped system, too, but able to separate the gas from the crude oil and to send the two fluids on two different circuits, tailored to each. With our system, Macondo probably wouldn't have happened".
