Project Overview
Based on a unique customer requirement, Oceaneering developed an ROV-installable subsea ultrasonic flowmeter used to determine gas injection flow rate to an individual well offshore Australia. This tool was designed to optimize injection of a sealant into the wellbore by measuring flow rate in a 3 inch gas lift jumper coated in three-layer polypropylene (3LPP).

Solution
An Oceaneering team based at the Jandakot, Australia site worked with a team of local experts to successfully marinize an ultrasonic flowmeter and make it ROV-installable.
For this to be possible, the flowmeter had to be fitted with a safe and reliable attachment mechanism.

Problem
Linear XT valves fixed in an open position and suspected hydrate formation inside the compensation system.

Challenges
The compensation system did not easily provide an ROV intervention point to access and allow pulling down the hydrates.

Solution
A ¾” Swagelok Cap was identified in a fitting stack above the Sea Chest. Bespoke ROV tooling was developed to enable the removal of the Swagelok cap and the installation of a collapse-resistant hose onto the fitting with a hot stab, thereby creating an Intervention point for hydrate remediation.

Company page Since our founding in the early 1960s, Oceaneering has expanded and grown globally to service several industries such as the offshore energy industry, defense, entertainment, material handling, aerospace, science, and renewable energy industries. In 1964, Mike Hughes and Johnny Johnson formed a Gulf of Mexico diving company called World Wide Divers. The company grew in response to increasing demand for their services and in 1969 merged with two other diving companies to form Oceaneering International, Inc. To solve the toughest challenges, we do things differently, creatively, and smarter. As your trusted partner, our unmatched experience and truly innovative portfolio of technologies and solutions give us the flexibility to adapt and evolve, regardless of market conditions. Our mission is to solve the unsolvable. We thrive by creating industry-changing technically creative solutions for the most complex operational challenges under water, on land, and in space. Our five core values establish a common culture and demonstrate what is most important for us as a company. Since the beginning, the company has transformed from a small regional diving company into a global provider of engineered products and services. Today, we develop products and services for use throughout the lifecycle of an offshore oilfield, from drilling to decommissioning. We operate the world's premier fleet of work class ROVs. Additionally, we are a leader in offshore oilfield maintenance services, umbilicals, subsea hardware, and tooling. We also serve the aerospace, defense, and theme park industries. Underpinning everything we do, safety is not only the foundation of our core values, but it is vital to our unmatched performance record and company culture. The industries we serve are as diverse as they are complex. Whether we are engineering deepwater umbilicals or developing robotics for aerospace applications, the safety and health of our employees, vendors, and customers is an integral part of our day-to-day business. If we are working, then our responsibility is to be working safely. Since our inception in 1964, we have placed a high value on employee safety—from diving services and subsea inspection to vessel-based installation operations. We have and will continue to evolve not only our health, safety, and environmental (HSE) processes, but those of the industries in which we work. Although we have been fatality-free since 1999, our HSE journey goes beyond statistics. As our portfolio of services has grown, we have continued to prioritize and advance our approach to HSE.
