NOFI WOSNET™ (World’s Strongest Net) is a net woven in a specially designed pattern, in which the fibres and ropes run in a straight line, with no weak points or stretch due to knots or changes in direction. NOFI holds a patent for this weaving technology, known as WOSNET technology.
Nets based on WOSNET technology are particularly suitable when a high degree of protection against heavy falling or swinging loads is required, and when the weight of the protective structure must be kept at a minimum. The net floats on water and can be manufactured with a breaking strength of several hundred tonnes per metre, both vertical and horizontal. Nets are manufactured from the fibre UHMWPE Dyneema® (reg. Trademark of DSM, Holland) SK75, marketed as "the world’s strongest fibre".
NOFI SLOTNET™ is a special type of net, designed to be installed as a funnel between the weather deck and tree deck on production platforms. Any falling objects from the derrick are guided down so that they do not strike the production tree in the adjacent wells. This permits simultaneous drilling and production in adjacent wells.
