Codes and Std
Modern standardization
– with System Engineering
Manifolds – Comparison of Flow Loops
Analysis of 10 standardized projects:
- 7 stable functional cores
- But 7 different physical designs
- Root causes are requirements to field
infrastructure and changing project teams

Question some myths
• ROVs are dumb
• We will never touch the system
in 20 years
• We know what the reservoir will
be sending us
• The more we specify, the better
the product

Good news!
• ROVs are VERY capable
• We can easily do light intervention
• A minimized specification regime will
deliver a system with better quality and
reduced cost
• Electronics and electrical systems have
become much smaller and more reliable
• Hardware being replaced by software
• We can make our systems more flexible,
add functionality as you need it
• Modern materials save on weight
• Modern IT can help us to share
information and data
