FlatFish is a hybrid, fully autonomous underwater inspection drone developed by Saipem to perform autonomous inspections of subsea infrastructure. Designed to operate at depths of up to 3,000 metres, it carries out inspection activities on pipelines, subsea structures and other underwater assets, contributing to safer and more efficient offshore operations. Following the successful completion of functional tests at Saipem’s testing facility in Trieste, Italy, the project has entered its final phase, with FlatFish scheduled for deployment in Petrobras’ ultra-deepwater offshore operations in Brazil.

An innovative ultra-deep-water offshore project, the Kaombo project in Block 32 aims to extract oil from six fields linked by 300km of pipelines to FPSO vessels. Operating at depths up to 1,950 meters, it utilizes advanced technology for its 658 million barrel reserves, with a production capacity of 230,000 b/d, making it Angola’s largest subsea well system. Through cutting-edge technology and engineering, it pushes the boundaries of traditional oil exploration, demonstrating Angola’s commitment to advancing its energy sector.

JSD 6000 is a Saipem DP3 multipurpose vessel designed for offshore pipelay operations in both J-lay and S-lay configurations, as well as heavy-lift installation activities. The vessel is capable of laying pipelines up to 36 inches in J-lay mode and up to 60 inches in S-lay mode, and is equipped with a main crane with a lifting capacity of up to 5,200 tonnes.
