RIDING MILL, UK – FTAI Ocean, a subsidiary of Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors, has contracted Osbit to supply a well intervention tower system for the DP-3 vessel M/V Pride.
Osbit’s Smart Tower System is designed for integrated riserless and riser-based well intervention operations in water depths of up to 1,500 m (4,921 ft).
The tower’s vertical Completion Workover Riser (CWOR) racking system is said to improve deck safety by reducing the need to access the intervention floor and to handle CWOR joints, while its small footprint is claimed to optimize deck space, allowing for more effective equipment storage.
The Smart Tower System integrates the existing vessel crane into the full deployment system, with an active heave-compensated capacity of up to 250 metric tons (275 tons).
In addition, Osbit said, it provides a “universal platform” for surface pressure equipment, active-heave compensated slickline and e-line operations, and for building, operation and recovery of CWOR and intervention systems.
Multiple guide wire systems and an extensive deck skidding system are said to minimize the need for crane lifts and to widen operating windows, allowing equipment to be loaded directly into the well center.
Another feature is the company’s Integrated Logistics Support control system technology: the control cabin can interface with the vessel’s safety systems, crane, and CCTV.
