... established that blockages are a major issue for the subsea production industry, and very limited information is currently published as to the causes, frequency and their avoidance. Additionally, it has determined that system designers and operating companies should have a detailed aware- ness...

..., this operation may be performed by a diver or a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). There are three main types of SCM currently in existence: all-hydraulic, which was historically used in the late 1970s and early 1980s; EH, which is the most common technique used since early 1980s; and all-electric, a primarily new...

.... Starting with Nautronix Acoustic Subsea Blow-Out Preventer (NASBOP) control system, this is a proven safety critical system that is currently used for subsea drilling operations by various operators worldwide. NASBOP is an eight-channel acoustic system that was developed in 2002 to meet Shell's...

...74 Abstract The increase in data provided by advanced surveillance systems, such as the new Subsea Monitoring and Control (SMC) platform (Amin et al 2004), allows innovative ways to monitor subsea systems and production operations extending from the sand-face to the host facilities. This enables...

The results of the study demonstrated that the system is highly competitive when compared with conventional ROV-based operations. The solution developed by Cybernetix over the years is now technically mature and ready...
