Trendsetter Engineering, Inc. is a premier provider of specialized subsea solutions for the oil and gas industry. Our team of subsea experts is not only well versed in the latest cutting edge technology, we are the ones designing and implementing it. Whether addressing a difficult subsea situation or contending with a full blown offshore crisis, our team is experienced in finding innovative solutions to the toughest problems—as quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively as possible.
With the tightening of offshore drilling regulations post-Macondo blowout crisis of 2010, Trendsetter’s ability to problem solve and engineer solutions to deepwater subsea drilling has afforded us the opportunity to challenge our staff engineers and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to meet the demands head on. The result is innovative solutions—a prime example being our Capping Stack technology—that are “real world” and useful for those companies who make their living in the Gulf of Mexico and across the globe. We not only provide solutions to the problems encountered today, we also engineer for those that could hinder drilling and production in the future.
Trendsetter has become known as the company upon whom the oil and gas operators relies, especially since the major subsea blowout and oil spill of 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico—
"If it wasn’t for Trendsetter, we wouldn’t be getting permits right now, at least for projects that need the 15,000-psi capping stack, the higher pressure containment."
Gene Hall, Subsea Manager for Cobalt International
