Oceaneering Reel Fire

This is an accident during umbilical or flexible pipe laying back in 2001 (date on the video). According to what I have heard, nobody was injured. I don't know what field this is from or what ship filmed the event. This film circulates among people in oil industry.

wraith was apparently wrong in his comment. He may have been on the job, but I was the equipment manager for this company for 6 years. His nomenclature is incorrect.

The ship in this video is Ocean Intervention II.

griff1978 - I can say that your source is unequivocally WRONG! I KNOW - BEYOND ANY DOUBT - THAT THIS WAS/IS AN UMBILICAL. Only one person went over board (in the water) - the company man. Everyone else jumped over the bullwarks and held on for dear life.

Looking at the deck arrangement I would guess this is an umbilical, a flexible pipe or a raiser would require more deck equipment

They load the umbilical or flexible onto the reel and use it to install it on the seabed. Here they must have lost control of the reel and it just let loose. My sources claims that this is a flexible pipeline, not an umbilical. In the whole film you can also see one of the crew climb on board again. I would also jump on the sea if this thing got loose :)
