Oceaneering expands AUV operations into Africa

Oceaneering International is expanding its presence for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) survey services to the West African region.

Oceaneering currently serves the US Gulf of Mexico with a fleet of state-of-the-art commercial AUVs, designed for high resolution and efficient survey operations in water depths reaching 4500m. The company is mobilizing one of its 3000m rated AUVs, which is capable of performing deepwater geophysical hazard and pipeline inspection surveys.

This advanced AUV provides clients with the necessary deepwater survey capabilities for pipeline surveys, as-built surveys, block surveys, and pipeline inspections.

“Africa is a growing market,” said Pat Mannina, VP, ROV – Americas and Global Survey Services. "By expanding our AUV operations, we will have the opportunity to support new and existing customers more efficiently, and meet the increasing demand for survey services in deepwater blocks of Africa with cost-effective integrated solutions. With our reliable AUV technology, we enable our customers to make informed decisions by providing them with accurate, high resolution information of the seafloor as well as their subsea infrastructure."
