C & C's AUV Completes ExxonMobil Project

July 28, 2003 - C & C Technologies recently completed an AUV site investigation survey off the coast of Angola for ExxonMobil. During the 34-day project, C & C's C-Surveyor I AUV, aboard the R/V Rig Supporter, collected high-resolution multi-beam bathymetry, side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiler data in water depths ranging from 500 to 900 meters. While collecting over 3100 kilometers of data, the AUV utilized acoustic modems to transfer sub-sampled data to the R/V Rig Supporter for QA/QC measures performed by route engineers.

Since becoming operational in January 2001, C & C's C-Surveyor I has performed more than 24,000 kilometers of surveys on 47 different projects for government agencies and the oil and gas industry. The water depths for these projects range from 100 to 2850 meters and encompass different levels of complexity. Some of the more high profile projects have been locating historical World War II shipwrecks, performing pipeline investigation surveys and surveying through a full-scale production FPSO location.

C & C Technologies provides a variety of survey services including high accuracy Globally-corrected GPS services, marine construction surveys, high-resolution geophysical surveys, geotechnical surveys including full laboratory testing, as well as land surveys.
