Subsea Services Alliance plans 15,000-psi intervention riser system
Subsea Services Alliance, the collaboration among Helix Energy Solutions Group, OneSubsea and Schlumberger, has announced the first joint technology project between OneSubsea and Helix to engineer and manufacture a 15,000-psi intervention riser system.
This technology advances the alliance’s objectives to offer well intervention solutions to service the increasing number of high-pressure wells in the subsea environment. The system, which will be available on a rental basis in mid-2017, is being engineered and built at OneSubsea facilities in Leeds, UK.
Helix President and CEO Owen Kratz said, “This new jointly owned system will allow us to service a wider range of our client’s well stock. It shows that even in a downturn we are able to target new and exciting opportunities.”
OneSubsea CEO Mike Garding stated, “By combining the operational expertise of Helix Energy Solutions with OneSubsea’s world-class engineering and manufacturing capability, we are creating well access and control packages that will expand today’s operating envelope to deeper and higher temperature environments. The announcement for the 15,000-psi intervention riser system is one of the first steps we are taking on the road to become the pioneers in subsea well intervention.”
