Offshore Drilling and ROVS(Remotly Operated Vehicle)

As the oil and gas industry moves to a more subsea environment, ROVs will become an even more important tool in drilling, development, and repair offshore. In fact, some ROVs are being built to work on specific subsea developments, with manipulators and tools designed for work on equipment in a precise field. In this case, as the subsea architecture is being designed, the ROV that will handle the subsea work is taken into account, as well, ensuring that all tasks at hand can be managed by the ROV.

One of the technologies that spurred the development of offshore drilling was ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle). In the 1970 Oil industry adapted ROV for drilling. Diving in deep water is dangerous for people. So the Military is using this ROV technology to retrieve the lost equipment underwater.
