BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 21. bp’s multi-well subsea
intervention campaign in Deepwater Gunashli (DWG) using riserless
light well intervention technology is now underway, Trend reports
via bp.
Reportedly, the subsea construction vessel Khankendi has been
fully converted for this purpose and has now sailed away to the DWG
area to begin a series of subsea interventions.
bp has awarded two major contracts to support the safe and
efficient delivery of the campaign:
A multi-million dollar RLWI contract to Oceaneering
International for the provision of all RLWI services. This includes
the setup, assembly, and testing of BORIS, as well as project
management, engineering, systems integration, and the supply of
equipment, materials and fabrication works required for BORIS’s
deployment.
A multi-million dollar contract to SLB for light well
intervention (LWI) services. The scope includes the provision of a
wireline/slickline combination (Combo) unit to eliminate heavy
lifting and simplify red zone management; a full bleed-off package
with high-pressure pumping capabilities for circulation and
pressure testing; multi-skilled crews as required.
Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) accounted for 16.2 million tons of
oil production in Azerbaijan in 2025 with total output in the
country standing at 27.7 million tons of oil (including
condensate).
