Oil States, a provider of manufactured products and services to customers in the energy, industrial and military sectors, has announced the availability of its Low Impact Workover Package (LIWP). The technology will debut at the SPE/ICoTA 30th European Well Intervention Conference, supporting the event’s “Empowering Tomorrow” theme.
The fully-integrated LIWP system features a FlexJointTM connector as part of the Low Riser Package (LRP), providing a 30-40% reduction in wellhead loading compared to conventional intervention systems that rely on tethering systems.
The design allows for a 15° emergency disconnect angle, enabling direct pull and disconnect of the Emergency Disconnect Package (EDP) during drift-off scenarios without complex, expensive connectors. The LIWP system includes the EDP, LRP and workover riser interface, and arrives pre-assembled and tested as one unit with a diameter under 49.5 in., allowing for direct deployment through the rotary table. The LIWP eliminates time- and cost-intensive moonpool assembly and subsea tethering operations, saving 24 hours during installation and 12 hours during retrieval, and, according to Oil States, as much as US$2.5 million per deployment.
“Oil States continues to pioneer innovations that promote safer and more cost-effective operations,” commented Garry Stephen, Oil States’ Vice President, UK and Asia. “The LIWP is an important solution that allows operators to meet today’s P&A requirements while increasing operational efficiency and enhancing the safety of workover system deployment.”
