This combination will provide unmatched productivity, safety, and value for many years to come.”
Características principales
Mide 108 m de eslora, 22 m de manga y pesa poco. 6,900 T, Oceuna evolución is an ABS class DP2 subsea multi-service vessel built in the US under Jones Act requirements for coast-wise trade of personnel and equipment. The vessel has accommodations for 110 persons, helideck and a working moonpool measuring 23 ft x 23 ft (7 m x 7 m).
El buque de 12.595 pies2 (1170 m2) steel-constructed deck is designed to carry heavy loads and equipment, which accommodates a wide variety of missions. The deck is rated to support 10 mT/m2 con una capacidad total de carga of 1.900 mT. La cubierta de acero y los servicios en cubierta, como agua, electricidad, combustible y comunicaciones, permiten cargar, soldar, amarrar y enganchar más fácil y rápidamente el equipo especializado de cubierta durante las movilizaciones y desmovilizaciones del proyecto.
The vessel is equipped with a 250 mT AHC main crane with a 13,000 ft (4,000 m) working depth capacity. This crane has a special lifting mode that allows heavy lifts with alternate reeving of the boom eliminating the jib that provides increased hook heights of 118 ft (36 m) above the main deck. This provides the ability for crews to lift tall wellheads, large pin piles, and other oversized equipment off the deck utilizing the maximum lifting capacity of the crane. A second auxiliary crane on deck adjacent to the working moonpool is capable of 40 mT for lifting and handling of equipment on deck and to water depths of 60180 m (0 pies).
Evolución oceánica features a unique layout bridge, configured with port and starboard redundant control stations. These control station locations provide bridge officers and DPOs a better view of crane operations, ROV deployment and simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) with other vessels and platforms on each side of the vessel. As a result, offshore operations are safer and more productive.
Evolución oceánica is built for reliability with five low-emission EPA Tier 4 diesel engines with a combined generating capacity of 16 MW on a three-bus system. The Tier 4 rating is the EPA’s strictest emission requirements for non-road diesel engines and the combination of five engines and third bus provides enough excess capacity to allow full capability and redundancy of the vessel if one engine is down for maintenance.
Evolución oceánica features enhanced station keeping capabilities, which allows it to maintain position even during extreme weather conditions. The vessel’s position is held using two tunnel thrusters and a drop down thruster in the bow along with two Azipull thrusters in the stern. Props on the propulsion systems can be turned 360⁰ and were designed to optimize dynamic positioning of the vessel. The vessel achieved an ERN station keeping reliability rating of 99.99.99.99 which is the highest rating possible further proving the ability of the vessel to keep station in difficult conditions.
El diseño y la construcción de los buques se realizaron teniendo en cuenta la estimulación de pozos y la intervención en pozos ligeros como capacidad clave. La capacidad de almacenamiento bajo cubierta de hasta 413 m3) de productos especiales maximiza el uso del espacio crítico de cubierta para los equipos de bombeo e intervención. La disposición del buque y los sistemas de seguridad cumplen los requisitos de clase ABS para una notación especial de estimulación e intervención de pozos.
The vessel is equipped with two Oceaneering work class ROV systems. One 220 hp Millennium® Más and one 250 hp NEXXUS systems are onboard each with active heave compensated launch and recovery systems installed in a custom indoor hanger for port and starboard launch. Integrated survey and communication systems round out permanently installed equipment that provide positioning and data services for all operations.
Las características y capacidades del buque, una vez integrados los productos y servicios afines de Oceaneering, proporcionarán a los clientes servicios de instalación de tiebacks submarinos de categoría mundial, soluciones de mantenimiento, reparación y desmantelamiento submarinos y servicios de estimulación de pozos e intervención en pozos ligeros.
