Abstract :
In May 2010, Chevron Energy Technology Company sponsored offshore field trials of the Rope and Riser Crawling vehicle. The vehicle had integrated optical and laser sensors in order to image a mooring rope in actual offshore conditions. This paper details the results of that trial and the lessons learned from infield operations under live conditions.
