UNDERWATER MAINTENANCE/WELDING OF FPSO TAMARA TOKONI AT OYO OIL FIELD

UNDERWATER MAINTENANCE/WELDING OF FPSO TAMARA TOKONI AT OYO OIL FIELD

The underwater maintenance/welding of FPSO Tamara Tokoni at Oyo Oil Field was carried out to ensure the integrity and efficiency of subsea structures. This project involved routine inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs to enhance operational safety and prevent potential failures in the offshore infrastructure.

Technology Used

Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) – For high-precision underwater assessments. Diver-Assisted Inspections & Repairs – For hands-on maintenance tasks. Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging (UTG) – To detect material degradation. High-Pressure Water Jetting – For biofouling and debris removal.

Project Status

Completed

Project Scope

Visual and Ultrasonic Inspection: Checking structural integrity of pipelines and subsea installations.
