perform preventive or corrective maintenance. Normally in

IMR projects, we use subsea resources made available by offshore vessels, for example, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), cranes and tools operated by ROVs, together with speci? c equipment and intervention tools provided by Aker

Solutions. Another challenge is related to the reduction of

OPEX costs, which requires the reduction of the time of service, maintaining the quality and agregate value. In con- 7UDFNLQJ junction with the customer it was possible to reduce the subsea inspection time by up to 50% with process planning and optimization,” said Woodson.

Ac- cording to Woodson, “In addition to all equipment instal- lation services, we provide a wide range of equipment in- tervention services, removal and replacement of modules and equipment, abandonment of wells, inspection, recov- ery and maintenance of control modules and tie-in connec- tions.”

Aker has a signi? cant number of subsea systems already installed in various water depths offshore Brazil, which
