  • Submersible remote operated vehicle vision assistance and control
    Patent number: 12263927
    Abstract: This disclosure describes monitoring and operating subsea well systems, such as to perform operations in the construction and control of targets in a subsea environment. A submersible ROV that performs operations in the construction and control of targets (e.g., well completion components) in a subsea environment, the ROV has one or more imaging devices that capture data that is processed to provide information that assists in the control and operations of the ROV and/or well completion system while the ROV is subsea.

  • IN-RISER TOOL OPERATION MONITORED AND VERIFIED THROUGH ROV
    Publication number: 20240167378
    Abstract: An in-riser communication system includes a riser extending from a surface facility to a subsea wellhead, a communication tool installed on a tool string, wherein the tool string is disposed in the riser, a repeater positioned on an exterior of the riser, a remote operated vehicle (ROV), and a computer system operatively connected to the ROV. When the communication tool and the repeater are positioned in proximity to one another, data is transferred from the communication tool, to the repeater, then to the ROV, and then to the computer system for processing.
