Heavy Weather ROV Deployment Systems

Heavy Weather ROV Deployment Systems

The ability to launch and recover ROV systems in harsh and deepwater environments is essential for supporting client projects. Subsea 7 has developed a range of launch systems proven in the most demanding applications faced by the subsea industry.

SITs (Physical and Virtual)

SITs (Physical and Virtual)

We provide a range of Site Integration Testing (SIT) methods and applications to ensure our clients have complete confidence in their subsea assets. Our SIT offering is fully customisable and compliant to work to specific procedures.

We provide experienced project personnel, teams and engineering expertise to provide our clients with a robust and class-leading SIT offering for both physical and virtual services.

Intervention Tooling

Intervention Tooling

We design, build, manufacture and maintain remote intervention tooling on a global basis.

We offer a range of intervention tooling for standard applications, further enhanced by significant expertise in bespoke tooling and engineering solutions.

In addition to our sale and rental business in this area, we also offer storage and maintenance of client-owned tooling equipment.

We offer:

  • provision of services for Mobile Drilling Units (MODUs) and Floating Production Units such as FPSOs.
  • we work with Class Bodies (ABS, DNV-GL, Lloyd Register & Bureau Veritas) to meet certification requirements
  • all our inspections are performed in conjunction with classification body requirements
  • provision of CSWIP 3.4u qualified inspectors both offshore and onshore data assessment and reporting
  • access to wider Subsea 7 capabilities for asset integrity management and anomaly remediation
  • global support capability

BOP Services

BOP Services

We provide a variety of ROV operated skids capable of carrying out BOP intervention services to meet specific equipment needs. Furthermore, we carry out emergency BOP intervention tests in partnership with our clients across many of our operating sites.

Through 4Subsea, Subsea 7 can now deliver real-time insights to the customer for informed and proactive decision-making to ensure optimised drilling operations. The digital twin SWIM™ (Subsea Wellhead Integrity Monitoring) measures critical parameters on the wellhead during drilling operations, providing KPIs and prediction analysis as a digital service. By combining expert engineering and operational experience with artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics, we can offer an industry-leading digital service, including advanced autonomous, retrofit sensor technology.

SWIM™ helps mitigate risk during well operations, monitors load on wellhead and well stability, detects structural failures in conductor and wellhead, and maximises well service life by tracking wellhead fatigue loading. Read more about SWIM™.

ROV Services

ROV Services

Our ROV systems are configured to service the latest generation of deep-water drilling rigs and the next evolution will be towards electrification to provide increased flexibility and modularity. This service is supported from operational centres located in the all the main Oil and Gas regions. Technical development to continually enhance the service is carried out by our operating base in Aberdeen, UK, where a team of specialists develop and qualify the hardware and services required by regional users.

The training of our ROV pilots follows IMCA guidelines and pilots receive instruction in all aspects of system operation and maintenance. A key part of this training is simulator training where pilots develop their skills and have to reach and maintain a level of competency that ensures efficient and safe operations. All our intervention tooling and emergency systems are in line with API standards.

We specialise in:

  • services for semi-submersible rigs, drill-ships, jack ups, fixed drilling platforms
  • ROV systems ranging from mini ROVs through to observation and full work-class systems
  • launch and recovery solutions that can cater for any weather and to water depths of up to 4000m
  • full logistics support and mobilisation services
