ROV: 1st for GoM

Independent subsea remotely operated vehicle (ROV) service provider ROVOP has expanded its fleet of ROVs. The Houston-based company has taken delivery of a new Seaeye Leopard electric work class ROV which will be the first of its kind for the Gulf of Mexico, in direct response to market conditions, and set to help operators reduce costs. The ROV offers work class capability in a small footprint. The system is suited to work tasks such as drill support, pipeline survey, exploration, salvage, cleaning and IRM.
