Abstract
The Chevron AUV development program has been running since 2007 with considerable success with a long term goal of deploying Field Resident AUV´s in our subsea operating assets. The paper will describe some of the successes of the program and the approach Chevron is taking to meet its end goal. The main focus will be to elaborate on technology gaps that have been identified and still require closure.
