The CLOV Phase 3 Project is an offshore deepwater oil field development in Block 17, approximately 140 km off the Angolan coast. Operated by TotalEnergies, the project includes the installation of a four-well subsea production system connected to the existing CLOV floating production facility. The development is intended to increase oil output by approximately 30,000 barrels per day while maximizing the use of existing offshore infrastructure.

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.
