NFEA Field Instrumentation

Last week, Nicoustic CEO Dmitri Gorski took the stage at the annual NFEA Field Instrumentation Conference (Feltinstrumentering 2026), held at Clarion Hotel Stavanger on 6–7 May. The conference is one of Norway’s leading arenas for instrumentation professionals from across the process industry, and this year’s programme covered a broad range of topics from new measurement principles and digitalisation to hydrogen and CO₂ instrumentation.

Dmitri presented Nicoustic’s ongoing offshore trial under the title «Ikke-intrusiv nivåmåling i separatorer – forsøk offshore» (Non-intrusive level measurement in separators — offshore trials). The presentation gave the audience an update on our field testing campaign on the Snorre A platform, where our Guided Elastic Wave technology is being put to the test under real offshore conditions. The presentation also described the path to an offshore trial and all the qualification requirements a technology must meet before it can be installed in a full-scale offshore production facility. As a conclusion, Dmitri outlined the road ahead for Nicoustic: intensive R&D work, multiple pilots on the NCS in 2027–2028, and the steps towards a commercial product.

All the contributors to the development of Nicoustic’s novel non-intrusive level measurement technology received special acknowledgement — our industry partners Equinor, OKEA, Aker BP, ConocoPhillips, Vår Energi and Petrobras, the R&D partners Fraunhofer IKTS and SINTEF as well as financing from The Research Council of Norway, Innovation Norway and Regional Research Fund in Trøndelag and careful guidance from our VC partner CoFounder.

Participating in events like Feltinstrumentering is an important part of how we engage with the broader instrumentation community and bring awareness to a technology we believe can make a real difference for separator level measurement on the Norwegian continental shelf and beyond.
