The FCV 2000D is the 2,000msw rated iteration in the Fugro Core Vehicle family of 5th Generation Work Class ROV Systems. It has been designed and built in-house by Fugro, specifically to cater for the rigours of Drilling and Completion Support to the medium water depth semi submersible drilling rigs and drill ships. As with all of the FCV Systems, it offers high levels of performance and capability, but in a more compact package. It incorporates a host of internally developed, proprietary technologies combined with the “best in class sensors and peripherals” to help us deliver the performance that is necessary for the high levels of service demanded. FCV2000D System is fitted with explosion protection equipment and compliant for operation in Zone 2 hazardous environment. Over the years Fugro has developed a wide range of innovative technology and solutions to better address our customers’ needs, so it is logical that when we turn our attention to the objectives of our ROV Business Line, we build the new generation of capability on a stable platform of field proven components and include our own particular brand of innovation. Following the successful introduction of the FCV 3000 in 2006 and the FCV 1000 in 2008, each with similar capabilities to deliver world class IRM and Construction Support to our clients, Fugro now has available the FCV 2000D to provide that same level of performance in a rugged, compact System, designed to counter the conflicting needs of the subsea support requirements and deck space limitations of existing, medium water depth drill rigs and drill ships. The FCV 2000D is capable of over 3 knots forward speed and develops >600kgf of bollard power in all directions, seamlessly delivered by its onboard 125hp electro hydraulic power pack and vectored thrust design. With its base level of enhanced standard capability and outfit, combined with the industry leading Sonar, Camera and Manipulator Systems, the 2,000Msw rated FCV 2000D will immediately be recognisable as an industry work horse for all manner of subsea tasks and not just the Drill Support that its design is focussed on. Drilling and Completions Support demands that the System be capable of enhanced tool carrying capability; both for underslung and rear mounted tooling packages and the System is particularly well specified in these areas, e.g. the LARS is designed to allow the TMS, ROV and underslung module to have a total stack-up height of 5m, meaning that
underslung packages of 2,745 long x 1,560 wide x 1,100 high and weighing up to 3,000Kg can be accommodated. The LARS has also been designed to offer maximum flexibility with regard to the layout that can be configured. Understanding that some installations may not require the A-Frame, but always need the umbilical winch, the “smarts” to control the functionality of the launch and recovery sequence are all contained within the confines of the winch. Similarly, the deck HPU has been simplified to allow hydraulic power to be delivered by an alternative source, which could even be a hydraulic ring main in some circumstances. Despite being a focussed design for Drilling and Completions Support, the FCV 2000D shares many of the attributes of its siblings in the FCV series; accordingly the FCV 2000D incorporates Fugro “Starport” technology that allows original data to be time-stamped at the point of origin – the ROV Sensor, which increases the accuracy of collected data. This provides the “data set” at the surface requiring only minimal manipulation to translate it to “information”. As the FCV 2000D and FCV 3000 share a common technology platform, the following advanced features available to the FCV 3000 are also to be found on the FCV 2000D when required. •
Mission rehearsal tools – Simulation and Planning
•
Semi autonomous functionality
•
3 Dimensional Dynamic Positioning
•
Real time visualisation of the local subsea work environment – helicopter view

FCV® 2000 – Next Generation Work Class ROV
FCV® 2000 – Next Generation Work Class ROV Primarily targeted at the expanding market for in-depth ROV Support around the developing, as well as mature, oil and gas areas of the world, the FCV family caters for all working water depths and task environments. Besides the FCV 3000, FCV 1000 and FCV 2000D Systems, there is also an option for a 4,000msw variant. All share a common technology platform, making it simpler to move them from Region to Region and to support the Operations Teams on a worldwide scale. The FCV has been developed specifically so as to be easily configured, or reconfigured, for all types of tasks principally, but not exclusively, in the oil and gas support sector, and can transfer easily to the areas of science and salvage. In all of these operations, the extensive range of the overall Fugro capabilities can be combined to produce a complete package for Integrated Service Provision (ISP) to the customers. The FCV 2000D has been designed to target the increasingly demanding scope of Drilling and Completions Support, but given its overall capability and “Modular Concept”, it can equally be aligned to provide Field Support, Construction Support or IRM operations when required. This is accomplished by the fitting of a variety of Tooling Packages that can be rapidly installed to the ROV, by means of “standard interfaces”, both mechanical and control which maps any new sensors to the surface without the need to open Pods and complete a re-wiring exercise. These interfaces ensure that operational changes can be implemented safely and efficiently, with the minimum of fuss, in a limited space environment as typically found on even the fifth generation of Drilling Units. Typical operations for the FCV 2000D are: Drill Rig Support • Exploration, Development and Completions Drilling • Support, with both standard and specialist / bespoke Tooling • Wellhead, Manifold and Subsea Tree Intervention • Subsea Facilities abandonment / recovery • Well Completion and Workover support • Choke and / or SCM Change-out • Debris clearance surveys Construction Support Services • Pipeline route surveys • Multibeam surveys • Route and crossing preparation • Flowline connection • As-laid, as-trenched and as-built survey • Touch down monitoring • Pipeline and Flowline Commissioning Field Support • Choke / SCM Change-out • Emergency Intervention - valveLine override • Facilities enhancement • Downhole intervention - valve opening Inspection, Repair and Maintenance (IRM) • Pipeline and structures inspection • Marine growth surveys and removal • CP / CD surveys • Free-span correction, including the use of mechanical supports FCV 2000D SPECIFICATIONS Depth rating 2,000msw Load rating 3g
