Connecting What’s Needed with What’s Next TM oceaneering.com Case Study Project Overview A client requested that Oceaneering provide technical input on the best approach for positioning a new well relative to an existing subsea manifold slot. Oceaneering successfully positioned the new well using a new inertial positioning solution using acoustic aiding — or position aiding from a known point on a fixed structure — as the primary positioning system. Issues Installation accuracy was critical, and conventional surface positioning and sub- surface acoustic methods would not achieve the + / -1 meter positioning tolerance required. One alternative solution was the conventional long baseline (LBL) acoustic approach. However, the time required to install and calibrate the subsea arr
