bp Completes Subsea Intervention Campaign in Caspian Sea Ahead of Schedule
What happened
bp completed a multi-well subsea intervention campaign in the Deepwater Gunashli area of the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli field in the Caspian Sea, finishing almost a month ahead of schedule. The campaign targeted seven subsea wells and used riserless light well intervention (RLWI) technology. The Khankendi subsea construction vessel was converted into a light well intervention vessel (LWIV) and utilized a moonpool system for equipment deployment.
