Assisting the Abandonment Process

Live leak sealing solutions designed to restore full operational capability – at a fraction of the cost associated with traditional alternatives.

By reducing the time required in the commission of dive vessels, our solutions routinely save operators and tier 1 contractors significant money on subsea maintenance projects. All KCI products can be adapted to increase compatibility with specific control line fluids, and they can also be stored for up to a year, making them an ideal choice for contingency planning.

 

KCI develops highly-effective, durable and flexible sealants.

DHSV-compatible, our sealants can be pumped straight into operational.

In the field: subsea leak sealants

KCI was recently approached by a tier 1 contractor struggling to restore functionality to a failed tree release system. Several seals had perished, complicating efforts to abandon the well, and the contractor needed a cost-effective solution that could be deployed to provide a temporary isolation of the seal structures and allow full travel of the unlock mechanism.

We deployed a defined volume of a bespoke product engineered for compatibility with the well tree system; restoring seal functionality and allowing full travel of the tree unlock system, significantly aiding the abandonment process.
