VR SOP Training for Offshore Platforms & Subsea Systems

Bespoke VR to standardise high-risk tasks across topsides, subsea and marine operations

Offshore projects blend heavy lifts, confined spaces, SIMOPS and hostile environments. Spark builds bespoke VR SOP training that replicates your platform layouts, subsea hardware, lifting plans and marine operations—so teams rehearse critical tasks onshore before mobilisation.

Offshore pain points we address

  • SIMOPS & logistics: deck movements, lifting windows, vessel coordination, dropped-object prevention.
  • Isolation & integrity: pressure testing, hydrotest/MEG flushing, hot work, ATEX and LOTO.
  • Subsea operations: spool tie-ins, ROV tasks, torque tools, stab plates, hydraulic/electrical connections.
  • Emergency response: H2S awareness, muster, evacuation, man-overboard and helideck incidents.
  • Contractor onboarding: variable experience levels, multilingual teams, human-factor risks.

Bespoke build pathway

  1. Discovery: capture project RAMS, lift plans, P&IDs, deck layouts and field architecture.
  2. Scenario design: heavy lifts, hot work permits, pressure tests, ROV intervention sequences.
  3. AI avatar coaching: prompts for toolbox talks, stop-work authority, and hold-point sign-offs.
  4. Assessment & analytics: right-first-time steps, error-likely flags, time-to-safe-state.
  5. Deployment: onshore training suites, port pre-ops, vessel briefings; multilingual content.

Operational outcomes

  • Fewer SIMOPS conflicts and lifting incidents.
  • Improved schedule certainty through well-rehearsed procedures.
  • Defensible competence evidence for operators and contractors.
  • Safer response to offshore emergencies.

Why Spark

We model your platform, subsea spreads and procedures—not generic content—so practice translates to safer execution offshore.
