Technology

Marzion IX values reliability and scale over flashy new solutions. Even current-generation IXTIS rigs, unparallelled in capacity and novel in design, are built from proven and reliable technologies – and a track record will always triumph over technical innovation when lives are on the line.

What this means in practice is that innovation on IX is rarely grand, but consists of slow and subtle changes over time – a new procedure here, a more efficient tubing system there, adding up to a gradual increase in efficiency over time that still manages to keep pace with newer methods. Admittedly, this is also because Marzionites invested early in the scale of their operations; a headstart of a hundred years is difficult to beat.
