3 Technology and Development Saudi Aramco Develops a Subsea Robot A joint in-house Departmental collaboration within the O&G giant Saudi Aramco has resulted in the successful development of a new robotic concept. Saudi Aramco has just revealed the making resulted in the successful development of a new robotic concept. Saudi Aramco has just revealed the making of a subsea shallow-water inspection Robot named SWIM-R. Due to its small size and powerful multitasking capabilities, the Robotic ROV SWIM-R is targeted to fill the challenging gap requirement to operate and inspect O&G pipelines in extremeshallow waters, while maintaining similar capabilities of large deep water Work- Class ROVs. Present Industry's shallow water inspections to date are still performed in old fashioned manners by requiring divers to complete sets of controlled risk preparations and the support of expensive highly sophisticated DSVs, which normally suffer physical limitations such as; 1- Vessel Draft, 2- Slow Dive response time, and 3- Safe Mother-zodiac travel distances in accordance to the Diving IMCA Regulations. The development of the new robotic technology SWIM-R will play a big role in enhancing Saudi Aramco's response toward a cleaner Environment, while drastically reducing the cost of corrosion inspections, yet utilizing faster and safer inspection means as advance protective measures. 3
