THE CHANGING ROLE OF THE REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLE IN OFFSHORE OPERATIONS

The Remotely Operated Vehicle's (ROV's) role in satisfying the requirements of the offshore production industry has been one of constant change over the years. As technical, operational and commercial experience has been gained, new and more demanding challenges have been identified. This paper demonstrates the capabilities of ROVs and their associated technology in meeting these new demands dictated by deepwater operations, increased safety requirements and low oil prices.
