Subsea Wellhead Systems

The Neptune long range sensors can be used to detect liquid hydrocarbons (oil) escaping from or around subsea wellhead systems. Neptune Oceanographics have long range sensors that detect the presence of oil in water.For gaseous hydrocarbons such as methane, Neptune can supply a non-optical sensor that responds to dissolved and un-dissolved (bubbles) of gases and can be used around a subsea wellhead. Gaseous hydrocarbons don't respond directly to optical excitation (fluorescence) in an open environment.
