Our highly skilled in-house engineers are focused on R&D and new technology development to address the multiple well integrity challenges that operators with mature assets are currently facing.

We have already conceived a number of innovative and cost-effective solutions and developed our own range of products in response to these challenges.

One such technology, that is significantly enhancing our field services and reducing costs for our clients, is our unique Surface Intervention System. This is available through our rentals division and has been engineered in-house to provide the operator with a highly versatile, low cost and compact technology to quickly perform a variety of near-surface intervention operations. It provides an alternative and more suitable option for smaller offshore projects, compared to deploying conventional well intervention systems. Its lightweight size and two-person operation is ideal for performing multiple shallow tasks including gate valve milling, cleanout, inspection, shallow plug setting, installation of xmas tree saver sleeves and tree removal. This is the first and only system of its kind and offers huge benefits to the oil and gas industry.
