Clever camera
A new JIP has been launched to progress camera technology that could deliver significant savings during drilling operations.
The Industry Technology Facilitator (ITF) launched the project with Clearview Well Services of Perth, Australia, with the support of two global oil and gas operators.
Clearview will build a prototype to live test its CDFC, a multi-function camera that will carry out jet blasting during visual inspections, requiring about 50% less rig time than traditional methods and be deployed by helicopter to carry out operations in one trip of the drill string via a fibre optic control cable.
The designs have been reviewed by the operators and the JIP funding will be used to create a prototype for a live test within six months and it is hoped the technology will be qualified and moving to manufacture before summer 2016.
