SEAFOM^TM exists to facilitate the growth of fiber optic monitoring system installations in the upstream oil and gas industry. This includes usage in land, and all offshore wells (both dry and wet tree), as well as within surface infrastructures both on land and offshore, including those positioned on the seabed e.g. pipeline leak detection.

SEAFOM^TM is fundamentally a knowledge sharing networking organization that is also developing “industry recommended” practices and procedures, and taking other steps that it believes will facilitate the desired growth.  Any such recommendations will neither inhibit innovation, nor address issues already in the domain of other related industry groups, like SIIS and IWIS.
