Energy Digital Uncovers Five Advancements made for AUVs Used for Underwater Inspection by the Oil and Gas Industry
Energy Digital's July issue covers advancements made for AUVs used for underwater inspection which has paved the way for increasingly advanced technological capabilities.
Online, July 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (SAN DIEGO, CA) - Energy Digital features an article on some of the latest developments made for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) widely used in the offshore oil and gas industry.
The Exploration and Production section of the magazine explores how the oil and gas industry utilizes AUVs for underwater examination of specific locations for oil and gas drilling. While the article mentions how oil and gas companies once used a "towing" method of inspecting and mapping out underwater areas, newer technologies have made the process quicker, much more efficient and more cost effective.
The story covers: AUVs for mapping the ocean floor; AUVs operating for longer periods of time; AUVs that can repair underwater infrastructure; AUVs with automated guidance systems; and a Robotic Underwater Vehicle that is powered by 100 percent renewable energy.
