“…Eni's autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for environmental monitoring and asset integrity: Eni, in cooperation with Tecnomare, have launched the CLEAN SEA project (Continuous Long-term Environmental and Asset iNtegrity monitoring in SEA) with the objective to use a commercially available AUV, properly upgraded with key enabling technologies, for the execution of environmental monitoring and asset integrity in offshore fields where Eni operates. Buffagni et al (2014) describe how to reach this goal. A custom designed mission payload, arranged as modular and interchangeable pods, has been installed at the AUV.…”

The Kiruna Ministerial Meeting of the Arctic Council in 2013 identified an action to develop an overview of the existing and potential technical and operational safety measures specifically designed to prevent oil pollution in the Arctic marine environment due to offshore petroleum activities. The Task Force on Arctic Marine Oil Pollution Prevention (TFOPP) was subsequently established and delivered its recommendations to the Iqaluit Ministerial Meeting in 2015. The report presented in this paper is a response to one of the recommendations. The report (Haver, 2015) was prepared by Proactima for the Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority acting on behalf of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The final report was delivered to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for further processing within the Arctic Council. A comprehensive overview of measures has been established based on contributions from the industry and R&D institutions through a baseline survey in addition to reviewing open sources. The report endeavours to provide a broad overview, covering the most important areas subject to the scope of work. An objective of the report is to provide a catalogue of existing pollution prevention measures for petroleum activities in the Arctic and a basis for evaluating the need for development of new measures. The aim is to make best use of existing knowledge in operations and optimum use of resources when considering future research and development projects. The report demonstrates that extensive research and development initiatives have been ongoing for several decades related to enhancing the safety of offshore petroleum activities in the Arctic and cold climate regions. The report, although being a documentation of facts, presents observations, recommendations and suggestions for further work. The objective of this paper is to make the report known to the wider community of petroleum professionals with special interest in activity in the Arctic. The paper should provide sufficient information to motivate the community to review the report and make use of it where applicable. Note: This paper is an extract of the report (Haver, 2015) and the text is primarily taken directly from the report. The report has extensive references that are not included in this paper. The report is openly available for download at: http://www.ptil.no/getfile.php/PDF/Rapporter/Overview%20of%20measures_report_TFOPP.pdf

Clean Sea is an advanced robotic technology aimed at providing a cutting-edge and highly cost-effective solution to the increasing demand for both environmental and asset integrity monitoring in new and more challenging oil and gas developments, notably deep water and arctic areas. Clean Sea is built around a unique concept of hybrid, modular and low-logistics ROV/AUV, easily reconfigurable for several applications, including (but not limited to): environmental monitoring tasksautomatic water samplingdetection and accurate localization of hydrocarbon leakages (from flowlines, SPS templates, etc.)seabed acoustic surveysvisual inspection of pipelines, SPS, jacketscathodic protection surveyspipe tracking (buried and exposed) This (patented) technology originates from a successful R&D project sponsored by eni and eni Norge and carried out by tecnomare between 2011 and 2013. Clean Sea technology was successfully proven over comprehensive trials carried out during 2014 and 2015 in environmentally different sites such as Lake Vattern (Sweden), offshore Hammerfest (Norway), Caspian Sea (Kazakhstan), Sicily Channel and Adriatic Sea (Italy). The successful trials have proven the viability of Clean Sea concept as well as the benefits that this technology will provide to the oil and gas industry in terms of operational flexibility, cost savings, asset integrity preservation, performances, safely operations in critical environments. Following the successful conclusion of the trials program, Clean Sea is currently transitioning to fully operational deployment, allowing the substitution of traditional ROV-based techniques and costly dedicated vessels. Moreover, the modularity of the system is fully exploited by continuous addition of new functionalities, in pursuit of the strategic evolution of the initial basic concept. The paper provides an overview of Clean Sea technology and advancements, and explains the basic concept of its operational capabilities. Examples of the most significant results achieved will be provided, including details on the on-going development program. Case studies for Clean Sea operation will also be presented and commented.
