HOUSTON – C-Innovation LLC (C-I), an affiliate of Edison Chouest Offshore and its family of companies, has signed a two-year contractfor continued riserless light well intervention (RLWI) services onboard the Island Venture offshore support vessel.
The new contract follows a previous agreement in which the Island Venture performed interventions on multiple deepwater wells in the Gulf of Mexico.
With no safe vertical access to several subsea wells under a platform, the C-I Subsea Projects Group was able to find a solution by utilizing a well service jumper to perform well interventions. This collaborative effort between C-I and the operator was a first for the industry and allowed C-I to perform the intervention without disrupting the platform’s operations.
The two-year RLWI work resulted in more than 1 million man-hours in which C-I had zero recordable incidents. So far this year, C-I has clocked more than 135,000 hours with no recordables.
