Offshore/subsea systems
The companies say they plan to use AI to unlock value from terabytes of data upstream and across FPSO operations.
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.
