INTRODUCTION

REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLES


ROVs are submersible vehicles teleoperated by technicians from a control van on-board a floating drilling rig or vessel. They are piloted by means of a microprocessorbased control system through an armored, electrical, fiber-optic umbilical. ROVs are the key technology enabling the performance of critical oilfield tasks in deepwater.
These tasks include drill support, subsea hardware installation and construction, subsea infrastructure inspections and surveys, and subsea production facility
operation and maintenance.

OCEANEERING AT A GLANCE
Founded in 1964, Oceaneering has grown from an air and mixed gas diving business in the Gulf of Mexico to a diversified,
advanced applied technology organization operating around the world. Innovation and creativity has been a key to our
growth. Our goal is to provide safe, cost-effective and quality based solutions and services to satisfy our clients needs.
OUR PEOPLE

INSPECTION MANAGEMENT
Inspection Management forms an important step in the Asset Integrity service whereby it provides
inspection programs, first level integrity evaluation and manages the inspection data sets.
Inspection programs are developed from the integrity strategy and/or from the maintenance management inspection routines.
These programs take the form of long term, medium term and short term forward plans, work-packs for the activity sets to
be undertaken and site support functions required to perform the work-scopes.
Work is then executed in the field by selecting the correct resources, briefing technicians as to the inspection requirements
prior to deployment, on-going communication during execution, evaluating reports and finally de-briefing the inspection
teams on completion.
First level evaluation of the inspection results are carried out by our Inspection or Corrosion Engineers to provide an
assessment of integrity and fitness for purpose and the development of any remedial actions required. If inspection
results are outwith the set tolerances then the results are escalated to the appropriate integrity support teams.
Effective Data Management is key to ensuring archiving and retrieval of data and other relevant records. The
Oceaneering suite of integrity software provided under the ACET brand name provides this assurance together
with the ability to trend data sets as required.
Reporting of inspection results is provided as either trend reports, anomaly notifications or formal reviews on
asset performance.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Conventional and Specialist Non-Destructive Testing
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is the branch of engineering concerned with all methods of detecting and
evaluating flaws in materials. Flaws can affect the serviceability of the material or structure, so NDT is important
in assuring safe operation as well as quality control and assessing plant life. The flaws may be cracks or
inclusions in welds and castings, or variations in structural properties that can lead to loss of strength or
failure in service. The essential feature of NDT is that the test process itself produces no deleterious effects
on the material or structure under test.
Oceaneering supply multi skilled and experienced engineers certified to the appropriate requirements
of all NDT disciplines relating to conventional and specialist techniques. Our NDT services are available
for either new build or in-service applications and include:

IN-SERVICE PIPELINE INSPECTION


Oceaneering operate a number of unique internal inspection systems launched from a platform or floating installation that provide data
from subsea pipelines.
TETHERED PIPELINE INSPECTION SYSTEMS
Pipeline operators make extensive use of Pipeline Inspection Gauges (PIG) to clean and inspect pipelines. For a line to be piggable it must have launch/receive facilities,
an adequate flow of product to propel the pig and no obstructions. Significant numbers of the pipelines in use today do not meet these criteria and are therefore deemed
unpiggable. Oceaneerings innovative and patented technology is challenging this perception with the use of tethered bidirectional propulsion systems with single point
launch and receive capability.
Corrosion, erosion, weld porosity/inclusions and cracking can all be detected utilizing the Pipescan/ Weldscan data presented to an operator in real time. This data is
then stored digitally for further analysis if required. Operators now have the information needed to make informed decisions on unpiggable pipe integrity and projected
life that enables continued safe and environmentally conscious operation.

OCEANEERINGS TETHERED INSPECTION TECHNOLOGIES


-- PipeScan UT Pulse Echo (PE) probes utilized for zero degree scanning providing surface corrosion mapping and the detection and determination of internal
anomalies
-- WeldScan Utilizes Time of Flight Diffraction (ToFD) and Phased Array (PAUT) to perform radial scanning around the pipe circumference in order to locate and size
anomalies in girth welds or base material such as inclusions, porosity and cracking
OCEANEERINGS TETHERED INSPECTION PROPULSION SYSTEMS
-- Pipe Intruder A differential pressure driven propulsion system which negotiates many of the geometrical challenges of unpiggable pipelines. The system does not
require cleaning of the pipe wall to ensure propulsion is generated which provides a benefit over crawler type systems
-- Pipe Rover An electro hydraulic tractor system which meets the demands for the propulsion of inspection technologies for larger pipelines
OTHER TECHNOLOGIES AND PRODUCTS
-- Laser Video Provides an enhanced visual inspection system utilizing a laser and a fibre optic. The laser can be used to derive measurements regarding the

CONDUCTOR STABILIZATION SOLUTION


A conductor stabilization method for reducing wave-induced damage and increasing guide
stability.
Oceaneering Asset Integrity developed a conductor stabilization method called CSS to improve traditional
techniques for reducing wave-induced damage and to increase guide stability.
Offshore wave-induced damage to an asset can be costly and dangerous. Lateral wave movement can cause
conductors or caissons to impact against the conductor guides resulting in fatigue or fracturing.

BENEFITS
-- Reduces damage
-- Increases guide stability and extends life of
conductors and caissons.

Wave damage intensifies from subsea to topside. Damage caused by the wave shock effect can be limited
by installing the CSS at the optimum depth.
The CSS uses an elastic Polyurethane compound that can be cast for subsea conductor tube
installations or injected directly for topside applications.
