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.

The Sakarya Gas Field Development 2 is an offshore project located in the western Black Sea, approximately 165 km off the coast of Filyos, Türkiye. Developed by Turkish Petroleum Corporation, the project involves the expansion of the Sakarya Gas Field’s production capacity through new offshore wells, subsea infrastructure and pipelines for transporting gas to the onshore processing plant in the Filyos area. Its objective is to increase Türkiye’s domestic natural gas production, reduce the country’s dependence on imports and contribute to national energy security.
