BP Concludes Successful Subsea Intervention Campaign in Caspian Sea
What happened
BP has successfully concluded a multi-well subsea intervention campaign at the Deepwater Gunashli section of the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) field in the Caspian Sea. The campaign involved seven subsea wells that were previously considered difficult to access using traditional methods. The BORIS system was utilized while the subsea construction vessel Khankendi was transformed into a lightweight well intervention vessel (LWIV).

Why it matters
The successful completion of the campaign was ahead of schedule and marked the first application of lightweight well intervention (RLWI) technology in BPās Caspian operations. The intervention work allows for effective monitoring and identifies opportunities for reservoir pressure management and increased production potential within the field.
Key contractors SLB and Saipem are deployed in the Caspian Sea for a complex intervention project involving BORIS.
