Control Wellheads, PLC Logic Systems, Blowout Preventers and so much more.
current – mapping seafloor – doing as built surveys – flying pipelines monitoring seepage – logging vessel acoustic signatures – on a schedule basis – Drones on patrol monitoring surface of water for oil Slicks – performing platform inspections – Wahoo - Remote Surface Vessel – collecting data and transmitting to shore – Fast Response Vessel peforming platform surveys – Work/Crew Cat – delivering crews and supplies – flying touchdown for pipelaying operations – Performing subsea intervention – manning control van to fly drones – receive emergency supplies from delivery drone – Mobile Command Center operating onshore Drones for refinery inspections – cell towers – security monitoring – stress analysis – mapping • Alert Operations – First response for: – Security - Z-ray identifies repeat signature and reports to Drone – Drone Identifies target and tracks vessel with bee-line course to Offshore platform. Monitors risk level. Reports to USCG. – Drone continues to follow and when USCG approaches vessel throws package overboard. Work/Crew Cat called and mobilizes to location tagged by drone and launches ROV can collects package – Drone sees oil and water coming from platform and reports – MOB from cruise ship passing through GOM and SAXON patent pending system drops life ring/epirb to man in water and with RSV or Work/Crew Cat mobilized. WCC (work Crew Cat) has maximum speed of 25 knots. 14 Key is a Multiple Mission Platform is already in the field equipped and able to act quickly, more effectively with very few people at a fraction of the cost
