Definitions

  • Hydrocarbon fluids such as oil and natural gas are obtained from a subterranean geologic formation, referred to as a reservoir, by drilling a well that penetrates the hydrocarbon-bearing geologic formation.
  • the well is drilled at a subsea location and completed with the appropriate type of completion equipment.
  • the well and the completion equipment may be serviced via intervention operations.
  • subsea intervention operations tend to be extremely costly.
  • intervention operations often involve deployment of a rig, e.g. a semisubmersible rig using tension risers, and this deployment is time-consuming and costly.
  • Some subsea intervention operations also may employ a surface vessel to supply equipment for use in the intervention.
  • the surface vessel also may be used as a platform for the intervention by being precisely positioned over the subsea well during the well servicing operation.
  • US 6808021 describes a system that is usable with subsea wells that extend beneath a sea floor.
  • the system includes a station that is permanently located on the sea floor and an underwater vehicle.
  • the underwater vehicle is housed in the station and is adapted to service at least one of the subsea wells.
  • a system and methodology facilitate subsea well servicing, e.g. intervention operations.
  • the invention resides in a system as defined in claims 1 to 10 and in a method as defined in claims 11 to 14.
  • the present disclosure generally relates to a system and methodology which facilitate subsea well intervention operations.
  • the system utilizes a transportable station which is movably positioned on a sea floor.

Depending on the location of the subsequent well, the station may be lifted to the surface and transported via sea, air, and/or land to the subsequent subsea location.
  • the transportable station may further comprise a docking station having connectors within the housing.
  • the docking station is coupled with a power lead which, in turn, is operatively connected with a subsea installation for transfer of power to the station. In some applications, the power lead also may be used to communicate data.
