The work proposal involved piloting ROV vehicles from onshore control centers (OCCs) as part of the SSUB Remote Operations Strategic Initiative, aiming to reduce risks for professionals and improve decision-making. The team collaborated with ROV service providers such as Fugro, Subsea7 and Oceaneering to adapt existing RSVs and use a private 4G network with a highspeed link to control the vehicles. The project faced challenges in configuring the network and simulating offshore operations. In January 2023, Fugro successfully conducted 8 subsea pipeline inspections more than 8 kilometers from the P57 platform. In March 2023, Subsea7 completed 5 pipeline inspections and 2 ANM inspections with the RSV CBO Wave. The pilot will continue with Oceaneering inspections and exploration of low-orbit satellite transmission technology. The first two phases of the project demonstrated the benefits of piloting ROVs from land bases to the submarine fleet.
