Airborne Oil & Gas will supply non-collapsible flexible jumpers to Wild Well Control for the deepest riser less plug and abandonment in the Gulf of Mexico
Wild Well Control awarded Airborne Oil & Gas (AOG) a contract for the supply of two flexible TCP Jumpers. The two jumpers, 2in and 10 ksi rated, are collapse resistant to 3000m water depth. They are delivered in lengths of 300ft each and will provide the flexible fluid connection between a drill string or downline and Wild Well Control’s 7-series subsea intervention package.
AOG’s TCP Jumper combines flexibility with a smooth bore and high collapse resistance. This combination, unique in the industry, provides a superior solution for riser less plug and abandonment. Thomas Wilke, General Manager Subsea, explains: “Our primary client, Marubeni Oil and Gas, will be plugging and abandoning nine subsea wells, of which the deepest are at a water depth of some 7300ft. We expect that some wells will be sub-hydrostatic, which may lead to significant differential pressures. Using AOG’s non-collapsible jumpers removes the risk of hose collapse and the related project delays. We have worked with Airborne Oil & Gas for some time on this project and concluded that their product provided a significant operational advantage.”
With this order, AOG has added yet another high pressure product to its portfolio, and secured their first order in the Gulf of Mexico. Frits Kronenburg, Area Sales Manager, comments: “We have developed our flexible jumpers as the superior product for deepwater well intervention, acid stimulation and plugging and abandonment. To date we have already won orders for our 2.5in 10 ksi jumpers, and now for our 2in 10 ksi jumpers as well. The potential is so significant that we are manufacturing this jumper for stock, enabling us to supply quickly”.
The two jumpers are shipped early November and are expected to be mobilized early December 2015.
