Visual Well Head Inspection by ROV
In October 2015, GAS Azerbaijani branch was awarded a contract to conduct a visual inspection of TOTAL’s existing well head in the Absheron field using an ROV. The Absheron offshore field, discovered in 2011, is located in the southern Caspian Sea and has a water depth of 500m. GAS carried out this ROV visual inspection using the ROV Perseo GTV built by Ageotec.
TOTAL is the operator of the Absheron offshore condensate gas field, and the development plan is currently being defined. The ROV visual inspection has been successfully completed early in November with exceptional productivity thanks to the robustness and power of the vehicle, to the high- definition cameras – streamed via fibre-optic links to the surface in real time – and to the video processor which grants exceptional images even in poor visibility conditions.
Since 2013,GAS has provided several surveys for TOTAL during the Absheron project development such as the Offshore Geophysical surveys which included a complex AUV survey.
