SEPTEMBER 202519The robust technology supported by a remote piloting system in the ROV improves the safety of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the environment. Through regular proactive inspections, the company monitors common CCS concerns, including corrosion, pitting and embrittlement fractures.Oceaneering International's Chemical Throttle Valve is the industry's only design that combines a full-flush position with an integrated mechanical scraper and eliminates the requirement for topside injection and dedicated umbilical lines. These features ensure superior contamination tolerance and deliver unmatched, accurate long-term performance without subsea filters.Ensuring Safety in Extreme ConditionsThe same level of integrity and efficiency is visible across all of Oceaneering International's projects, whether hydrogen energy, fixed offshore wind or nuclear energy. From facility fabrication to ongoing maintenance and eventual decommissioning, every step is carefully executed for the best results. Its Grayloc connectors are widely used in critical service applications as they can manage high-pressure and high-temperature environments. The metal sealing technology ensures leak-free performance. These connectors were extensively used in the hydrogen processing piping system, with valves incorporating Grayloc ends.In one instance, a gas leakage caused a small but intense fire in a large petrochemical facility where Grayloc systems were used. This was traced to an external packing gland in the hydrogen processing unit, which contained 80 percent hydrogen gas operating at 6,000 psi. The intense heat destroyed three control valves, the operator housings were melted and the control functions were lost. In the post-incident inspection, the company established that the connectors maintained their sealing integrity despite exposure to temperatures ranging from 2,000°F to 3,000°F. The customer reduced downtime and expenses associated with replacing and repairing fire-damaged system components due to the ease of disassembly and reassembly of the connectors. Thanks to Oceaneering International, they avoided catastrophic outcomes by preventing a leak and averting any potential knock-on effects of the incident.Setting Standards in Nuclear Power InspectionOceaneering International's multi-certified inspection personnel and engineering teams complete bespoke nuclear-focused training and develop and execute inspection programs for nuclear power station components. Its products and services support global nuclear power facilities and continue to evolve to meet increasing demands, including solutions for emerging technologies like Generation IV and small modular reactors.Its 18-person team of skilled radiographers has captured over 20,000 exposures on-site to support the building program and requirements at a nuclear power plant. An additional 10,000 exposures have been documented as part of offsite operations, wherein support frames are inspected at a local fabrication facility before shipment and installation.The team diligently examines inspection data to identify irregular profiles, defects and anomalies. They remain on-site until the nuclear power plant's commissioning is completed. Clients often express high satisfaction with their performance.Oceaneering International consistently establishes industry standards through its innovative solutions and steadfast commitment to excellence. Its proactive approach to safety, efficiency and sustainability enhances operational performance, ensuring long-term reliability and environmental stewardship. Our global footprint and worldwide supply chain allows Oceaneering to maintain a 99 percent uptime for the world's largest fleet of work class subsea robotic vehicles
