Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus for performing an operation in a fluid conduit of a hydrocarbon exploration or production installation and methods of use. The apparatus comprises a body configured to be received in a fluid conduit, which is coupled to a tool fluid conduit defining a flow bore. An imaging device is carried by the body and a flow direction arrangement provides a fluid circulation path between an annulus located between an interior wall of the fluid conduit and the body and the flow bore in use. The flow direction arrangement is configured to provide a deployment thrust on the body when fluid is circulated between the annulus and the flow bore through the fluid circulation path. Applications to the inspection of flexible risers and applications to the placement of a fluid or material a treatment operation are described.
