Saipem and OSRL reinforce their cooperation

The existing contract between Saipem and OSRL provides for the storage, maintenance, training of personnel and readiness including the remote emergency response, related to the OIE (Offset Installation Equipment), a unique system designed to intervene in case of subsea well incident, when direct vertical access is not possible.

The expanded Services Agreement encompasses the deployment of FlatFish, the subsea drone developed by Sonsub, Saipem centre of excellence for underwater technologies and robotics, for a wide range of offshore tasks, including among others, survey, leakage detection, through water column plume and dispersant concentration monitoring, environmental assessment and patrolling.

FlatFish is part of Saipem’s Hydrone robotic development program, consisting of a series of subsea drones which are able to perform fully automatic inspection, surveillance, maintenance and rescue operations in an efficient, safe and environmentally friendly manner. In particular, FlatFish is able to autonomously perform complex inspections of subsea assets, thanks to the robotic technologies it incorporates: from integrated artificial intelligence to advanced navigation functions. In addition, its hydrodynamic shape and electric propulsion allow the Flatfish to travel long distances in deep water with minimum energy expenditure and maximum respect for the environment. The activities related to submarine drones are headed by the Robotics and Industrialized Solutions business line and represents one of the development axes confirmed in the Strategic Plan 2022-2025 by Saipem. The company is, in fact, engaged at the forefront in the development of such drones and stands out on the Italian scene for its high technological maturity.

The expanded Services Agreement allows OSRL Subsea Subscribers to on advanced, drone-related capabilities for environmental monitoring. This latest service is part of OSRL's continual focus on the leading edge of technology in the reference sector. Said addendum will allow Saipem to enlarge the fields of application of FlatFish, thus making a fundamental step forward towards its commercialization on a global scale.
