Subsea Testareas

NUI has established three Subsea test areas in the Close vicinity to the Hyperbaric Reception Facility in Gravdal.

The three test areas has the following dimensions:

  • Concrete plattform 20 m (Geopositioned for Acoustic testing)
  • 300 m² 90 m depth
  • 900 m² 20 m depth (quay side)

Subsea Well

In the Onarheimsfjord, South of Bergen, NUI has established a subsea well for testing and verification of light intervention equipment.

The well in drilled at 115m dept, and is 298m deep. Both wellhead and the steel casing is pressure tested to 5000PSI
