The name SolstenXP is a combination of the word Solsten which is the Nordic translation of “Sunstone” and the suffix letters XP.  Early Viking explorers to North America and other north Atlantic mariners used solstens while navigating through thick fog and cloud cover before the advent of the compass (see the recent discovery documenting sunstone use).  At SolstenXP, we too are explorers with a real connection to the sea through our extensive history working offshore.

The XP suffix for the company name represents the following core elements of our people and organization:

•         eXcellence and Professionalism;

•         eXperienced Personnel; and

•         eXploration and Production

SolstenXP Logo
The SolstenXP logo was created immediately after selecting the Company name.  Our logo represents the warmth of the midnight sun and our unique brand.  The X in the logo also resembles a Solsten where it is transmitting light from one point to another through its structure.
