FEATURE STORY INNOVATIVE TOOLING ENABLES ROV OPERATION IN DEEPWATER FIELDS By: Ed Galloway and Walter Scott Oceaneering International, Inc. The vast offshore infrastructure – of platforms, pipelines, and subsea wells – depends on remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to perform tasks during instal-lation, repair and removal operations at water depths below the range of divers. To support deepwater opera-tions, innovative attachments – ROV tooling – have been developed to carry out a wide range of routine and specialized work during every phase of offshore activity.
