OneSubsea – a Cameron and Schlumberger company – Helix Energy Solutions Group, and Schlumberger announced that they have entered into a letter of intent to develop technologies and deliver services to optimize the cost and efficiency of subsea well intervention systems.
Subsea well intervention provider Helix has the largest fleet size of well intervention vessels. Subsea well control company OneSubsea has experience in the manufacture and supply of subsea well intervention equipment and services. Schlumberger is a supplier of technology and services to the oilfield, including conveyance systems and in-well technologies for subsea applications.
Upon agreement on the final terms, the three companies will provide a fully-integrated offering, combining marine support with well access and control technologies. The alliance will focus on several objectives, including the expansion of applications enabled by subsea well-access technology, and specific solutions for deep and ultra-deepwater basins and higher well pressure environments.
"An important consideration is the evolution in the capabilities of Helix’s vessels to provide well intervention and additional support services such as well commissioning, artificial lift support, and abandonment, which are usually performed using drilling rigs," the alliance partners said.
