Video paper: Pipeline surveying from a surface vessel in the Caspian sea
Surface Vessel Based Multibeam Pipeline Inspection
In a special collaboration between BP, Fugro Caspian and Teledyne RESON an unconventional approach was used to survey pipelines in the Caspian Sea. A vessel was outfitted with two pole mounts each equipped with a SeaBat 7125 SV2 using FP3. Teledyne PDS software was used to automatically detect and track the pipes in real time. A total of 710 km pipe was surveyed in just seven days. This presentation outlines the advanced technologies that were involved to collect such high resolution pipeline data.
