Typical Project

Talisman, Scapa E7, situated in North Sea, lying approximately 450 ft deep. The field is on a template with 24 XTs. The well "E7" had not flowed for numerous yrs, however it is now financially viable to pull & sidetrack. My scope was to co-ordinate the refurbishment of all Vetco subea equipment for workover and completion. This was undertaken in 2 stages as below:

Stage 1

Refurbish tree cap/ XT pulling equipment, reconfiguring hydraulic controls to suit subsea XT. Pull Tree Cap, pull XT and cap well. XT and tree cap to be shipped to Vetco for Survey.

Stage 2

Refurbish the equipment to industry standards for drilling programme and subsea equipment, interfacing lower Riser package/EDP to XT hydraulic controls, FAT, EFAT, SIT. Create rig survey for equipment interface. Provide onshore and offshore support throughout the installation and commissioning.
