For ocean technology enthusiasts, there was only one place to be last month—ExCeL London for Oceanology International (Oi) 2022, from 15 – 17 March. Oi 2020 was one of the first major ocean tech conferences to fall foul to COVID-19, so this year’s return to in-person proceedings was eagerly anticipated, to say the least.
The offshore oil and gas industry has been investigating innovative solutions to help reduce or eliminate carbon footprints subsea and increase worker safety on- and offshore. Remote operations coupled with advanced autonomous solutions can have a significant impact on how business is conducted.
Why use a 90 m vessel for multiple surveys on a subsea pipeline when you can get the job done in a single pass, using a small electric powered remotely operated vehicle (eROV) launched from an uncrewed surface vessel (USV)? Depth of burial (DOB) inspections and surveys on pipelines are about to become faster, safer and more cost effective.
The methodologies in performing subsea inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) services are ever evolving, with new and innovative technologies rapidly advancing the capabilities of what is possible in the underwater domain.
As emerging marine technologies continue to improve the overall safety of offshore operations, one area of naval security has come into sharp focus of late: underwater mine clearance.
A sophisticated package of electromagnetic sensors developed by Norwegian company Argeo is radically improving the monitoring of power cables, pipelines, and wind turbine foundations, the scanning for buried UXO, and the mapping of deep-sea minerals.
A world leader in offshore digital video recording and inspection systems, Digital Edge Subsea develops and manufactures products for use throughout the offshore oil and gas industry, working with clients of any size to provide the system that best suits their needs.
Seoul-headquartered wave energy developer INGINE is set to celebrate its landmark 10th anniversary this year as its technology edges ever closer to commercialization.
