SHARK Subsea Services recently completed an ROV SURVEY in the Black Sea for OMV PETROM S.A.

Data was obtained utilising our Reson SeaBat 7125-C high frequency (400kHz) Multibeam, echo sounder (MBES), side scan sonar, Sub-bottom profiler and pipe tracker, all mounted on our Panther XT ROV.

The Pipe tracker data were processed with our PDS2000 software.

All data was then imported directly into AutoCAD for post processing and generating bathymetry charts.

Romanian-based subsea services company, Shark SRL has purchased a Saab Seaeye Panther XT electric work ROV for use with their Reson SeaBat 7125 multi-beam sonar system. They expect to see more accurate pipeline survey results using an electric ROV rather than the acoustically noisy hydraulic work vehicles commonly employed for multi-beam survey work. Shark Subsea will also gain considerable cost savings in space and handling, by using the compact-sized, but powerful Panther XT work ROV, rather than a much bulkier hydraulic...

Shark Subsea Services performed a combined geophysical and bathymetric survey within the Black Sea at OMV Petrom PFCP location. We were asked to conduct this survey because of the planned installation of a new platform and bridge at the Central Platform (PFCP) facility. The out come of this survey was to verify where the platform could be located. The offshore operations for this project were performed from the survey vessel GSP Alcor, and the processing and rendering of data was conducted at Shark’s purpose built Office in...
