Project 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

© Chevron 2013 5

Project Objectives

 Project Objective:

– Identify subsea interfaces which should be standardized for AUVs

– Develop recommendations and preliminary drafts of interface standards

– Submit to API SC17

© Chevron 2013 6

Preliminary List of AUV Interfaces for Standardization

• Docking

• Power / Battery Charging

• Communications / Data Transfer

• Mechanical Intervention

Standardization Must Consider Both Greenfield and Brownfield Applications

© Chevron 2013 7

Vision of Success

 API Adoption of DeepStar Task Report as Input to a Recommended

Practice.

 Follow Outline for API RP 17H:

– Scope

– Normative References, Terms and Abbreviations

– AUV Interface Philosophy

– Design Performance

– Design Considerations

– AUV Interfaces and Subsea Systems

– Operational Considerations

– Indicator Systems

– Materials

– Documentation

– AUV Interfaces

– Informative Annexes

 Deliver Draft RP Document to API SC17 in MS Word Format

Key Results and Next Steps

 Summary of Results:

– Draft RP, formatted as a “Stand Alone” document following format of API RP 17H

– Key Sections include:

• Sect. 4.0: AUV Interface Philosophy and Functional Requirements

• Sect. 7.0: AUV Navigational

Requirements for Interfaces and

Subsea Systems

• Sect. 12.0: AUV Interfaces

 Next Steps:

– Deliver DeepStar report to API upon completion of DeepStar reveiws
