ROV

Free-swimming or tethered submersible craft used to perform tasks such as inspection, valve operations, hydraulic functions, and other general tasks.
  • NOTE: ROVs can also carry tooling packages for undertaking specific tasks such as pull-in and connection of rigid spools, flexible flowlines, umbilicals, and component replacement. Alternatively modules or tools may be deployed by crane and mated with the ROV subsea.
ROVs are grouped within the following main categories: — OBSROV (observation class ROV; MCA Class I and Class II)—These vehicles are small vehicles fitted with cameras/lights and may carry sensors or inspection equipment. They may also have a basic manipulative capability. They are mainly used for inspection and monitoring. — WROV (work class ROV; IMCA Class III)—These vehicles are large ROVs normally equipped with a five-function grabber and a seven-function manipulators. These commonly have multiplexing controls capability that allows additional sensors and tools to be operated without the need for a dedicated umbilical system. WROV are split into two classes: medium WROV and large WROV depending on their defined work scope. WROVs can carry tooling packages to undertake specific tasks such as tie-in and connection function for flowlines, umbilicals, and rigid pipeline spools, and component replacement.

HAZOP

HAZOP is a rigorous and widely accepted technique for hazard identification. A system or process is studied by a team who systematically look for the cause and effect of deviations from the norm. The team will, in general, be considering the following questions: • What is the design intention of the plant? • What deviations from the design could occur? • What might cause such deviations from the design intention? • What would be the consequences of such deviations from the design intention (such as fire, toxic release, etc.)?

Mode of Operation

Mode of operation means the condition or manner in which a MOU may operate or function while on location or in transit. The modes of operation of a MOU include the following:
  1. Operating conditions: conditions wherein a MOU is on location for the purpose of conducting operations, including drilling and production activities, and wherein combined environmental and operational loadings are within the appropriate design limits established for such operations. The MOU may be either afloat or supported on the seabed, as applicable.
  2. Survival conditions: conditions wherein a MOU may be subjected to environmental loadings in excess of those established by the MOU's operating manual. It is assumed that routine operations will have been discontinued due to the severity of the environmental loading. The MOU may be either afloat or supported on the seabed, as applicable.
  3. Transit conditions: conditions wherein a MOU is moving from one geographical location to another.
  4. Combined operations: operations in association with, or in close proximity to, another mobile offshore MOU or offshore installation, where conditions on the other MOU or installation may have an immediate impact on the safety of the MOU; for example, a mobile offshore drilling MOU attached to a fixed platform.
