Reassess SURF Sourcing Ahead of LIWP and Ammonia Changes

Traditional P&A programs can carry significant costs through tethering spreads, recovery and recommissioning, rig movement, vessel time and assembly activities. By eliminating tethering requirements and thru tubing abandonment disposal costs as well as reducing installation and retrieval time, the LIWP approach can reduce deployment costs by approximately $2

Over time, wells and subsea trees experience repeated interventions, fatigue damage accumulation, corrosion and mechanical damage that affect the risk-based evaluation for decommissioning tasks and plug and abandonment (P&A). Aging wells introduce new intervention risks A conventional intervention system may be suitable for wells with low uncertainties and strong integrity records, limited fatigue concerns and subsea architecture that can support standard operations

Operational and cost implications for P&A campaigns No single system removes the need for well-by-well engineering assessment
