Subsea Interventions
Driving Efficiency and Innovation in Offshore Operations
1. Hydrate Remediation
Project Highlight:
• Resolved hydrate blockages in over 20 projects, including campaigns in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa.
• Utilized cutting-edge ROV-mounted deployable skids and subsea separation systems, including systems capable of methanol injection, heat application, and depressurization up to 15,000 psi.
Solution:
• Advanced techniques, such as precise fluid and volume calculations, pinpointed blockage locations.
• Operations integrated multi-stage systems to inject chemicals like methanol, apply heated fluids, and depressurize subsea equipment.
• Implemented ROV-mounted tools with hot stabs and real-time monitoring to ensure precision in dislodging hydrates.
Outcome:
• Fully restored production flow, reduced downtime, and re-established well functionality. Innovative methods decreased environmental impact by minimizing operational delays.
2. Well Stimulation
Project Highlight:
• Managed and executed the stimulation of over 100 subsea wells since 2012, including 10 deepwater wells in the Gulf of Mexico completed in just 6 months with a 98% operational success rate.
Solution:
• Delivered coiled tubing applications combined with a subsea riserless stimulation tool to pump acids and diverters for enhanced well access and performance.
• Adopted treatment plans tailored to address specific reservoir characteristics and optimize longterm output.
Outcome:
• Significantly increased production rates and improved reservoir performance. Extended asset life while lowering operational costs through efficient stimulation campaigns.
3. Light Well Intervention (LWI)
Project Highlight:
• Conducted over 15 successful interventions using 4” and 7” riserless systems, leveraging MSVdeployable well access packages.
Solution:
• Deployed modular subsea systems featuring shearable and gate valves for secure well control.
• Implemented real-time well monitoring and cutting-edge technologies to ensure compliance with stringent safety standards and equipment reliability.
Outcome:
• Achieved substantial cost reductions by avoiding traditional rig-based operations, significantly minimizing the environmental footprint with lower CO2 emissions and a smaller operational footprint.
