Title: The Troll oil pipeline project: A welcome challenge to survey technology

Conference ·
OSTI ID:136641

The design and engineering of the Troll oil pipeline has been totally dependent on recent development within detailed underwater survey/mapping techniques. To achieve the required data accuracy, resolution and density, a large extent of the survey work has been carried out with Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV). This project is considered a first step into the kind of detailed subsea survey work which will be required in deeper waters (1,500--2,000 meters) for engineering and construction purposes, within the next 5 years.
