Offshore/subsea systems
This paper describes an experimentation trial deploying and operating a computer-vision system on a deepwater rig to measure drilled cuttings in real time using a remotely monitored camera system.
The experience captured in this paper illustrates the potential of deepwater riserless wireline subsea intervention capability and the fact that it can be expanded beyond hydraulic-only, simple mechanical, and plugging-and-abandonment scopes.
The subsea field is part of the larger Snøhvit development in the Barents Sea.
