1 Technology roadmap for Underwater Intervention Drone s (UID ) Marianne Bryhni Asla, Subsea Operations Conference

2 UID -? UID Underwater Intervention Drone, is a hybrid of RO V Remotely Operated Vehicle AUV Autonomous Underwater Vehicle UID is trade marked by Equinor to secure freedom to use in the industry UID important part of the sharpened Equinor technology strategy

4 Operator Business Case Always safe Always safe High value Low carbon Reduce human exposure Simp lify p r o c e d ur e s Online emergency response High value Reduce need for specialized vessels Reduce operating cost: onshore remote operations Increase Production Efficiency (PE): short response time, la r g e o p e r a t ing wind o w Increase usage of installed infrastructure Profitable field development in remote areas Low carbon Reduce CO 2 e mis s io n Improve environmental and condition surveillance

5 Current projects in execution Remote operations from onshore control room, 2017 Resident W-ROV Snorre B, 2018 Va ria ble Buoya ncy System (VBS), E-ROV, 20 17/20 18 Ee lume pilot use, la te 20 18/e a rly 20 19

6 Empowered ROV concept E-RO V Work class ROV with battery package and communication buoy concept developed by Equinor E-ROV Pilot: used in on Troll and Tune E-ROV Mark I: services to be ready for operation from e nd of Communica tion via 4G buoy or fibre optics Service a va ila ble with la unch a nd re cove ry from IMR vessel
