QuickVision employs a ‘smart’ camera, attached to an ROV, to determine the heading and attitude of a subsea structure as it is landed.
This approach is said to eliminate the need for pre-installation of a sensor package on the structure, with retrieval performed once installation is complete, reducing the time and costs associated with use of a dive support vessel.
Lotfi Ibrahim, drilling operation manager for Dragon Oil (GUPCO), said: “The conventional sensor method is time-consuming and is not without risk. Fugro’s QuickVision allowed us to deliver safer…operations, and within the desired accuracy.”
