Transforming Subsea Decommissioning
X-Lay™ cutting rigid pipeline removal costs by S$20B to 2040, with reduced environmental impacts
The Decommissioning
Challenge
Global subsea infrastructure is entering large-scale decommissioning. The total subsea pipeline network is >150,000km long. Removal from the ocean is the only pathway that eliminates biohazards and enables recycling, but traditional removal solutions are very expensive and taxpayers fund up to 70% of these costs.
Traditional pipeline removal solutions involve either the reverse of the original method or subsea cut and lift. These methods are capital-heavy and productivity constrained.
The Centre of Offshore Decommissioning Australia is forecasting that 2,000km of rigid pipleines will require removal in circa 2030.
We estimate that X-Lay™ can reduce the current removal cost of S$5B by >50%. The Australian taxpayer is also exposed to 35% of these costs.
This makes X-Lay™ a very attactive proposition for Governement R&D grants and early-stage studies from Operators.
Our Commercial Model
We are focused on creating value for our Operator and Subsea Contractor clients in 4 segments: i) engineering services, ii) licensing X-Lay™, iii) developing additional licensable technologies & iv) developing next generation solutions
Subsea Facilities Integrity & Removal Engineering
Expertise in the analysis of subsea facilities integrity and efficient removal engineering.Our consulting services encompass from Concept, FEED, through to Detailed Engineering.
X-Lay™
X-Lay™ is our flagship technology we plan to license to Subsea Contractors, enabling the removal of pipelines with >> 50% cost savings relative to the status quo, while achieving superior environmental outcomes.
Blue-Sky Solutions
Leveraging our unique innovation engine , we are seeking global partners aligned with our vision to jointly develop additional licensable technologies to enable the transformation of subsea and offshore facilities removal.
Faster, Smarter Subsea Decommissioning
Our technologies and operating intelligence combine to create faster, lower-cost and repeatable routes to transform subsea decommissioning, reduce reliance on in-situ disposal, and return offshore materials into circular use.
Innovation Pipeline
Beyond X-Lay™, Restore Subsea is commited to developing a porfolio of proprietary technologies (Blue-Sky Solutions), with the support of our AI-Native Operating system that could significantly contribute to the acceleration of subsea facilities and biohazard removal, enabling increased downstream recycling and responsible subsea restoration.
X-Lay™: A New Solution for Rigid Pipeline Removal
A brief overview of our proposed X-Lay™ solution applied to the Australian market in circa 2030.
Progressing Toward Commercial Deployment of X-Lay™
We commenced our “Technology Demonstrator Phase” for X-Lay technology in 2020, and following a Seed Raise in 2025, we moved into our “Commercial Demonstrator Phase”. This phase currently involves independent technology qualification via DNV, further R&D, engineering, and potential pipeline bend analysis/testing, all crucial for our efforts in environmental decommissioning. We are also seeking Government Grant funding and support for subsea restoration initiatives.
Our Series A Raise (circa Q1 2027) will support our “Growth Phase” for X-Lay as we pre-qualify our proprietary offerings for various use cases, preparing for Invitations to Bid (ITB) to Subsea Contractors for upcoming subsea pipeline removal projects worldwide.
We plan to strengthen our niche-focused IP with advanced pipeline strain management, alongside further R&D and lab testing of various pipeline types and sizes.
