References of floating production of Oil and Gas

A landscape of opportunities is opening for floating production industry. Consequently, floating production equipment requires continuously maintenance. AUV is major use to carry out inspection tasks of huge hulls as FPSO navies. for these reasons, we put some references to aid to known more about this technologies.

1.) Brazil FPSOs and other platforms like as TLP can be found in:
ONIP (National Organization of Petroleum Industry)

2.) PETROBRAS lead the Oil and Gas production in deep waters:

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are an interesting research area in oceanic engineering. The AUV swings in ocean, lake and rivers, carry out expensive tasks which include seeking, surveying, supporting in offshore and onshore operations. The industrial application focuses in gas and oil exploration mainly in depth water. Other applications are relative to the military defense.
The figure above shows a classical torpedo-like AUV, it is the Dorado AUV from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium.
