MultiCam aides successful well installation
The Problem
High currents, coupled with low subsea visibility - at times less than three feet - restricted ROV capability creating the potential for delays in the completion program.
Operating parameters also meant viewing angles on a traditional ROV camera were not useful so a seperate camera system needed to be deployed.
The Solution
A simple, fully extendable and multi-plane adjustable mounting bracket that clamped to the existing structure enabled Claxton to attach unidirectional cameras to confirm actuation. A weak-link system enabled the umbilical to be retrieved and the camera/light assemblies to stay in place on the tree.
The Result
The Claxton camera assemblies were installed and functioned reliably throughout the project, proving instrumental to the on-schedule completion of the project.
