World Record AUV Pipeline Inspection25/01/2007 |
| Subsea 7 and SeeByte have successfully completed a pipeline inspection using Subsea 7’s Geosub AUV and SeeByte’s SeeTrack Offshore system with its Autotracker module. These operations, funded by BP EPTG, inspected over 100km of pipeline with an AUV. The team inspected sections of interest on the East of Shetland Magnus pipeline, the Clair pipeline and the West of Shetland pipeline. Subsea 7 and SeeByte, under the leadership of BP EPTG, worked closely with the BP TAPS (Terminals and Pipelines) team with the aim of demonstrating the commercial benefits of the technology. |
