Success Story – Chemical Injection into BOP

Situation Overview

In a high-stakes subsea operation, our ROV is deployed to a wellhead equipped with a Blowout Preventer (BOP) at a depth of 2600 meters. The objective is to inject vital chemicals into the BOP to ensure its optimal functioning, particularly in the face of strong currents that pose challenges to traditional ROV operations. .

Operational Context

The subsea environment presents several challenges:


Depth: Operating at 3000 meters requires robust technology capable of handling extreme pressure.


Strong Currents: The area is known for its turbulent waters, making precision positioning essential for successful operations.


Time Sensitivity: Any delays in chemical injection could lead to operational inefficiencies and increased costs, particularly due to the volatile nature of current market conditions.

Deployment of the ROV

With our advanced electric ROV, the mission begins:


1. Launch and Recovery: Utilizing a compact Launch and Recovery System (LARS), our ROV is deployed smoothly from the vessel, minimizing the time spent at the surface.


2. Navigating Depth: Equipped with advanced thrusters, the ROV easily descends to the target depth of 3000 meters. Its lightweight and compact design allows it to maneuver effectively, even in strong currents.


3. Precision Positioning: As the ROV hovers at the designated depth, its sophisticated stabilizing technology ensures it remains steady despite the surrounding turbulence. This capability is crucial for the upcoming chemical injection.

4. First Attempt Success: With real-time feedback and diagnostics available to the operator, the ROV positions itself precisely over the BOP. The ROV is equipped with specialized tooling for injecting chemicals, designed for high-pressure environments.


5. Injection Execution: On the very first attempt, the ROV successfully injects the necessary chemicals into the BOP. The effective design of our ROV ensures that the injection is performed smoothly, without any leakage or operational hiccups.


6. Monitoring and Reporting:Throughout the process, the ROV transmits live video and diagnostic data back to the surface team, confirming the successful injection and allowing for immediate assessment of the BOP's condition.

Outcome

By leveraging our revolutionary ROV technology:


Efficiency: The entire operation is completed swiftly, with no need for multiple attempts or prolonged deployment times.


Cost Savings: The ability to perform the injection on the first try minimizes vessel downtime and associated charter costs, providing significant savings in a high-stakes market.


Environmental Responsibility: - The eco-friendly design of our ROV ensures minimal environmental impact, with reduced risks of fluid leaks during the chemical injection process.


This scenario exemplifies how our electric ROV is not only capable of performing complex subsea tasks but also excels in challenging conditions. By choosing our ROV for subsea operations, clients can ensure efficient, reliable, and environmentally responsible service delivery, even at depths of 5000 meters and beyond.
