Innovasjonspris til Island Offshore og Centrica – Offshore.no

Island Offshore lasted today together with oil company Centrica, has been awarded the innovation prize “ONS Innovation Award” on oil fair in Stavanger.

price lasted shared between the companies shallows pioneer project dei collaborated on in 2015; To carry out the first drilled out ein offshore well something anger, using coiled tubing technology.

– This is an important award for us, giving us Much valuable fuss of broadcast our technology. It is thanked vere Centrica as venturing to pursue new and untested technology in oil field, we have advanced as far as we are today. No, we look at how we can take the technology to the next step – nemleg to use coiled tubing to heavy intervention in subsea wells, says Department Head of toppholsboring and P & amp; A in Island Offshore, Per Buset.

the technology lasted useful to prince gong in 2014, då NPRA needed geological surveys of the rock formation for ein future tunnel under the Rogfastsambandet on E39. Island Offshore NEW då select any of the vessels their to drill three wells, and the technology was thus qualified.

In 2015 took Centrica the total new story då dei new coiled tubing technology to check for reason gas Butch Field on the southern part of the Norwegian continental shelf. Never before had there been bora ein subsea pilot well using coiled tubing technology.

The next step is no adapting the technology to perform heavy intervention in levande subsea completed wells:

– We hope to be ready for the first operation in 2017 or 2018, depending on the qualification process. This host groundbreaking duck for intervention work in commercial duck subsea wells, including plug & amp; Abandonment market, says Buset.

As of today hosted performed little heavy intervention on subsea wells, då this must be done from the rig.

To benefit rig entails great cost and high risk versus applying EiT offshore vessels for the job. The rates for EiT vessel is lavare, and the need for crew and equipment on board is less. That ein no can do this without the use of risers (riser), invert ein save both time and money and ein eliminates risk by iteration of the riser to zero. There is another important factor is that ein will take much less sensitive to verkreftene, då coiled tubing withstands Mykjemeir bending than EiT rigid riser. This makes it also possible to move the vessel away from the well and into the safe zone should blowout happen. If so, then can ein eject coiled tubing and sufficiently holding up to kill the well Medan ein moves, type Island Offshore in a statement.

– Centrica estimated that they saved about 50% on from Island Offshore’s vessels and equipment instead of rig Exploration drilling for shallow gas last year. In these times need such be worth gold to oil companies, concludes Buset.
