Workhorses And Now The Arrival Of AUVs |
Underwater
inspection, repair and maintenance will become more efficient by using
electricity. Site surveys and pipeline route studies will be more cost-effective
by using pre-programmed robots. Bob Barton reports the latest developments
in underwater vehicles. With all the excitement about the imminent entry
into mainstream E&P activity of cable-less autonomous underwater vehicles
(AUVs) - of which more later - it's easy to overlook some of the striking
developments that are being made with the more conventional cable-controlled
remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).

| RDI
ADCP for Shell deepwater work |
Shell Oil Inc,
USA, has installed an RD Instruments long-range current profiling system
on one of its Gulf of Mexico exploration drilling rigs. The 38kHz Phased
Array Stationary Platform instrument is measuring 1000-meter-long current
profiles in real time.
Strong and highly
cariable ocean currents can seriously disrupt drilling operations in deepwater
frontier areas. RD Instruments' acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs)
alleviate this disruption by providing data to support a range of operations,
including station holding riser deployment and riser VIV (vortext induced
vibration) monitoring, ROV operations, marine operations and to provide
engineering design criteria. RDIs Phased Array Systems are standard equipment
for this type of deepwater current monitoring with 36 instruments at work.
