How Viper solves oil & gas challenges
Since 2007, we have delivered intelligent subsea technologies and expert support that safeguard electrical integrity. Our proven solutions prevent and resolve electrical issues without costly intervention, providing real-time visibility, predictive insight, and remote protection to maximise uptime, extend asset life, and ensure safe, reliable energy production worldwide.
Industry Detail
Supporting the global oil & gas industry
We are a trusted technology partner to the global Oil and Gas industry, delivering intelligent electrical integrity solutions and expert support that help reduce risk and extend asset life.
Our systems are deployed across subsea fields, topside facilities, and onshore operations, preventing faults, reducing downtime, and providing the insight needed for safe, efficient production.
We are also home to the world’s only intervention-free subsea electrical protection and recovery capability. This unique approach enables remote protection and restoration of insulation resistance without costly subsea intervention, setting a new benchmark for electrical reliability and long-term asset life extension.
The importance of insulation resistance (IR)
We understand that electrical insulation resistance (IR) is central to the safe and reliable operation of subsea and surface electrical systems. As insulation naturally degrades over time due to moisture ingress, thermal cycling, and ageing, IR values decline. When viewed as an IR versus time trend, this data shows how quickly integrity is deteriorating and when preventative action is required.
By continuously monitoring this trend using technologies such as V-LIM and V-SLIM, we detect degradation early, track change over time, and maintain safe operation, protecting both people and production.
Our integrated technologies, including V-LIM, V-SLIM, V-LIFE, and PlatformVi, enable continuous monitoring, predictive analytics, and remote system protection, ensuring long-term reliability across the full lifecycle of electrical networks.
Act now protect production & safety before insulation failure strikes.
Intelligence installed
With V-LIM and V-LIFE, Viper Innovations provides the tools to monitor, protect, and restore cable health, before failure becomes a costly reality.
Be -V-LIFE Ready, install a V-LIM today.
Future Proof Your Systems
Be V-LIFE ready
We power reliability through proactive cable management.
Our V-LIFE technology is the world’s only intervention-free subsea electrical protection and recovery solution. By installing V-LIM or V-SLIM, we provide continuous insulation monitoring and enable remote activation of V-LIFE when protection is required.
Combined with predictive analytics through PlatformVi, our subsea solutions deliver real-time visibility, automated fault prevention, and long-term electrical asset protection, reducing downtime and extending system life.
This proven subsea technology can also be adapted for onshore Oil and Gas applications, including the monitoring and protection of Electric Submersible Pumps, control systems, and other critical power assets where electrical integrity is essential to performance.
Installation made simple
Installation of our solutions is designed to be simple, flexible, and adaptable across a wide range of environments. Systems can be retrofitted into existing infrastructure or integrated into new designs with minimal disruption, reducing installation time and operational impact. Multiple deployment options ensure compatibility with different architectures, supported by established standards, OEM alignment, and in-house expertise to streamline delivery and commissioning.
Building on this approach, V-LIM is engineered for straightforward installation, typically completed within one to two shifts. A range of retrofit options allows integration into live or existing systems with minimal disruption, supported by our in-house installation services where required. Panel-mounted V-LIM and V-LIM2 variants and a portable V-LIM option, together cover all common installation scenarios, ensuring a V-LIFE-ready solution for every application while simplifying deployment and long-term operation.
