The Helix 15k Intervention Riser System (IRS) streamlines well entry with wireline or coiled tubing and well control in water depths up to 10,000 ft, allowing Helix Well Ops vessels to respond quickly to subsea well intervention needs as a cost-effective alternative to a drilling rig. In addition, the IRS can address loss of production or other emergency intervention needs using standard tooling and procedures.
Fast deployment and the ability to interface with vertical and horizontal subsea trees are some advantages of this high-pressure riser. It enables subsea well access with full circulation capability and greater speed and efficiency than using a BOP and marine riser.
The IRS combines rapid response with maximum operational flexibility to meet the specific intervention needs of high-rate deepwater subsea wells. It can be used to address loss of production or other emergencies requiring intervention using standard tooling and procedures.
All through-tubing operations can be accommodated, and multidisciplinary operations can be conducted in a single mobilization.
