Welaptega used its pioneering optical chain measurement system (CMS), complete with new automated edge tracking software, to execute a mooring inspection campaign for BP offshore Angola. According to Welaptega, the inspection campaign was conducted under very challenging subsea conditions.
The project saw Welaptega use its new edge tracking data system and its patented CMS technology to inspect the mooring system of BP’s PSVM FPSO, which is situated in Block 31 offshore Angola. The PSVM project is the deepest deep-water project in Africa.
Using its innovative CMS for data collection, Welaptega was able to provide accurate measurements in difficult operating conditions, which are known to create significant challenges for reliable and accurate data collection on mooring systems offshore Angola.
The CMS is made up of four video cameras (depth rated for 3,000 meters), integrated LED lighting control, and a topside digital recording system that collects high quality video of the measurement locations. The new edge tracking software then allows the data to be processed and measurement results delivered offshore.
