UWILD - Film-Ocean

Our Services - UWILD

Film-Ocean has an extensive track record in performing inspection surveys with tasks including NDT - ultrasonic wall thickness and CP, hull inspection, GVI & CVI hull plating, sea chest, thruster and hull cleaning, internal and external inspection of overboard valves and sea chests, internal ballast tank inspection and more.

Having completed over 100 UWILD inspections globally, Film-Ocean has developed and owns a range of equipment and tooling to provide a fully managed, integrated UWILD service offering. With deployment options from either the FPSO or vessel-based, we can offer the correct package for any UWILD requirement. Film-Ocean has an extensive track record in performing UWILD inspections. Our value-driven, high-quality service offering is achieved by knowledgeable and experienced personnel utilising high-quality ROV systems and tooling. We hold class approved service supplier status with ABS, BV, DNV-GL and Lloyd's Register for in-water surveys (IWS).

FPSO Based Deployment

Due to not requiring an ROV support vessel, significant cost savings can be achieved.

A typical scope of work would include a full inspection of all major components and infrastructure within the 500m zone. This deployment method is ideally suited to installations situated in less than 250m water depth.

Vessel Based Deployment

Using the know-how and experience we have provided our UWILD inspection services from support vessels.

This is more common for deepwater assets where, due to the excursion distance from the deployment site, using an FPSO based solution it would not be possible to complete inspection tasks on all components and infrastructure. A typical scope of work would include a full inspection of all major components and infrastructure required.

Hull

From a single launch position, our ROV systems can carry out an inspection of the complete hull. A typical hull inspection includes:

GVI & CVI hull plating and features
Sea chest, thruster and hull cleaning
Internal and external inspection of overboard valves and sea chests
NDT inspection – ultrasonic wall thickness and CP
Internal ballast tank inspection

Moorings

We can track buried mooring lines and complete the survey to the anchor position when operating from a vessel.

GVI/CVI of all mooring components including jewellery
Cleaning
Interlink, link length and bar diameter measurements using our own patented equipment
Enhanced Inspection - 3D photogrammetry and laser scanning
Trench profiling
NDT inspection - ultrasonic wall thickness and CP

Subsea Infrastructure

Whilst onsite additional IRM tasks such as flexible riser and umbilical surveys, subsea structures, flowlines and jumpers are routinely added as required deliverables to reduce the cost of a separate mobilisation.

Intervention

Using our versatile ROV systems we have delivered many intervention tasks that would normally be associated with divers or larger ROV’s deployed from a support vessel.

Inserting inflatable or compression plugs into hull apertures to allow for remedial work on ship side valves
Operating riser base valves to allow for pressure tests
