Case Study

ONGC Underwater Measurement System

Client

ONGC

A 10-channel underwater data acquisition system developed for ONGC to continuously monitor key oceanographic parameters aboard the oil-exploration vessel SEDCO 445.

10 Channels

Underwater data acquisition

30m & 60m

Measurement depths

5 Parameters

Temperature, salinity, depth, current & direction

The Project

Monitoring critical underwater conditions during offshore exploration

The Requirement

Continuously monitor underwater conditions during offshore operations

Capture multiple oceanographic parameters simultaneously

Record measurements at two different underwater depths

Operate as an integrated multi-channel system aboard an exploration vessel

EMCON’s Solution

Developed a 10-channel underwater measurement system

Configured the system to monitor temperature, salinity, depth, water current and direction

Enabled measurements at 30 metres and 60 metres

Operated the system aboard ONGC’s oil-exploration vessel SEDCO 445 for continuous underwater data logging
