Future Vision for Autonomous
Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance (IRM)

AUVs offer significant improvements in safety and operating efficiencies as
well as substantial reductions in cost over current methods:
–
No divers or umbilical in the water
–
Smaller vessels and fewer people at sea
–
Faster, more efficient inspection operations
–
Vessel independent, permanent presence for remote locations and hostile environments

AUVs will leverage a wide range of inspection sensors and technologies,
including video, photographic, sonar, laser, ultrasonic, magnetic, and others

AUVs offer high potential for future intervention capabilities such as sampling,
data harvesting, and valve operations that will achieve improved safety and
operating efficiencies
AUVs will become an increasingly important tool for IRM Operations

Task Motivation
The development of industry standards for AUV interfaces, similar to the API
standards for ROVs, will:
 Lead to compatible system designs by AUV vendors and field hardware
manufacturers, and
 Enable safer, more efficient and cost effective operations of subsea fields.
Future capabilities and benefits of AUVs will be substantially enhanced
through the use of standardized interfaces with subsea facilities

Preliminary List of AUV Interfaces
for Standardization
• Docking
• Battery Charging
• Communications:
o Supervisory Communications
o Video and Data transfer
o Data Harvesting
• Mechanical Intervention
Standardization must consider both Greenfield and Brownfield Applications

Several Industry Developments involving
AUV Interfaces for Deepwater Fields are Already Underway
 SWIMMER (Total / Technip)
 AIV (Subsea 7 / SeeByte)
 Sabertooth (Saab SeaEye)
 Marlin (Lockheed Martin)
Early Standardization of Interfaces will
benefit all Industry Stakeholders
