CUSTOMIZED WELL CONTROL SOLUTIONS
Applied Technologies for re-use of equipment
Platform installations in the North Sea have utilized various drilling and production programs throughout the life of the field resulting in inventories of well control equipment from different OEM’s that can be repurposed to meet the requirements for an upcoming drilling and production program. When new wells are going to be drilled Operators can now leverage their assets, reduce cost and lead time by employing Aquamarine’s Customized Well Control Solutions to manufacture specialized cross over systems utilizing equipment from different suppliers.
Aquamarine Subsea has developed a cost and time saving concept, Customized Well Control Solutions, meeting the above described demands. The service is based on a close cooperation between the Operator and Aquamarine Subsea. Most Operators have spare and used equipment stored in their warehouses. By utilizing this equipment, or parts of it, Aquamarine Subsea is able to re-configure the well control equipment so it meets the drilling program requirements.
By utilising components from existing and stored equipment, from different original equipment manufacturers, Aquamarine Subsea is able to cut cost and increase utilization of existing equipment
