Expro completes 15 well abandonment campaign with zero NPT

Subsea Well Access

Customer challenges

Expro’s client had the requirement for a subsea well access system to provide well barriers during a subsea well abandonment campaign in West Africa
This abandonment campaign was to be carried out by a drill ship with a dual activity drill floor
Expro supported our client with the provision of an Open Water Intervention Riser System (OWIRS) and controls package (SPS Xmas Tree and OWIRS controls)
Expro provided project management, interface engineering and service personnel to deliver the full scope, which included a compact OWIRS, surface flowhead, umbilical’s, topsides control equipment and IWOCs package under the one integrated contract
Our customer required a rental OWIRS as their subsea well access method to interface with the Xmas Tree because:
Xmas Tree type and upper interface could not accommodate a drilling BOP
The original workover system was no longer available
Coil tubing intervention as a contingency was ruled out of RWIS

Expro Excellence

OWIRS system was successfully bunny hopped for six wells in the schedule: system subsea for just over three weeks
Personnel skill sets were transferred from Expro’s SSTTA product line
Zero leak gas testing was carried out on the main barriers post operation, proving the system reliability after more than 250 functions and 16 months in the field
Performance recognised by client in Australia who will now take equipment on rental to perform very similar work scope
