FET delivers three ROVs to Brazil
Forum Energy Technologies has delivered three 3,000m depth ROVs to OceanPact, a subsea repair and maintenance firm in Brazil.
The 200HP Perry XLX-C work-class ROVs were manufactured in the UK and will be deployed on two of OceanPact’s vessels to help carry out inspection, repairs and maintenance to oil company Petrobras’s oilfields.
”The 3,000m depth rated compact 200HP XLX-C delivers the high performance of a work-class vehicle in a smaller form,” says FET. ”The vehicles benefit from an impressive high flow auxiliary hydraulic circuit combined with a high payload capacity to carry additional tools and sensors.
”Each XLX-C was supplied with an underslung tooling skid for additional tooling and options fitment, complementing the vehicles’ high performance. A comprehensive supplementary tooling package including torque tools, verification units and fluid injection systems was also provided.”
The ROVs also have heave-compensated Dynacon launch and recovery systems, and surface power and control installations.
”We’re pleased to have been chosen by OceanPact to deliver their first work-class ROV fleet at such a pivotal time as it expands its subsea operations,” said FET commercial manager Simone Pizzolato.
