Do more with an ROV

RWOCS optimizes completions, tree installation, workovers, intervention, and plug and abandonment operations. The solution removes the need for large, surface-controlled equipment, moving service activity subsea.

Key features

  • Designed to function with multiple OEM tree designs
  • Full FMEA and TRL studies performed
  • Multi-use applications for installation of trees, manifolds, and jumpers
  • Built-in redundancy for critical components
  • Extensive components qualification program
  • Chemical supply available
  • Capable of subsea pumping at 15k psi (HP supply) and 5k PSI (LP supply)
  • Fluid Storage for control fluids or chemical returns
  • Tray based design for quick simple replacement of components
  • Event logging throughout the operations
  • Modular design enables project-specific configuration

How it works

RWOCS delivers fluid at up to 15,000 psi to any subsea infrastructure with a tie-in point from manifolds and pipelines to pipeline end terminations (PLETs), and trees.

The solution supports completion of systems diagnostics while providing communications and data streaming, enabling reliable remote operations and onshore oversight of activities in real time.

Oceaneering’s RWOCS offers a clear advantage by providing valuable operational savings for deployment, hook up, test and commissioning, and recovery to topside.

RWOCS configurations

Skid Exploded Marshalsea 700x394

ROV Skid

Complete shorter operations with our ROV-mounted skid. This configuration requires less fluid, especially for vessel-based operations where an available ROV is already onboard, offering significant cost benefits.

200115 Compact Skid exploded view 02 700x394

ROV Compact Skid

Our compact ROV-mounted RWOCS is specifically designed and engineered for shallow water applications and boasts a lower ROV payload requirement, increasing its ROV compatibility.

RWOCS Standalone 1 700x394

Standalone

The standalone RWOCS benefits from an additional 150 gal of fluid from housed in an extra reservoir and the ability to be deployed subea for longer durations. The standalone version eliminates the dedicated use of an ROV, freeing up a rig or vessel’s ROV to execute other operations and further optimizing efficiency.
