InterMoor, an Acteon company, has launched MoorVision, an innovative software system that provides clear, up-to-date photos of the infrastructure in any defined area in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) using Google Earth™.

The first step for drilling with a moored mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) in the GoM is to secure a permit, and this involves evaluating the risk of damaging existing infrastructure. Difficulties in obtaining accurate well, pipeline and platform production data can make this a labor-intensive and time-consuming process.

The MoorVision system helps to cut the time and effort required to gather the necessary information by accessing and presenting publicly available information from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). It will also facilitate the risk assessment process recommended in the American Petroleum Institute’s Gulf of Mexico MODU Mooring Practice for Hurricane Season.
