Halliburton Introduces Global Rapid Intervention Package (GRIP)
AIR-MOBILE EQUIPMENT PACKAGE FOR SUBSEA
WELL CONTROL RESPONSE
HOUSTON – July 11, 2016 – Boots & Coots Services, a Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) business, announced that it has developed the Global Rapid Intervention Package (GRIP℠), a suite of services to help reduce costs and deployment time in the event of subsea well control events. GRIP provides well planning and well kill capabilities facilitated by the company’s global logistics infrastructure and existing product service lines. This includes both an inventory of well test packages, coiled tubing units and relief well ranging tools.
In addition, GRIP features the new high temperature, 15,000 psi Rapid Cap Air-Mobile Capping Stack. Sourced from Trendsetter Engineering, Inc., Rapid Cap incorporates a specially designed gate valve-based system making it significantly lighter, less expensive, and more mobile than options currently on the market.
Capping stack systems currently available are extremely difficult to deploy due to their size and weight (roughly 220,000 – 300,000 lbs) and are expensive to transport and reassemble on a job site. It can take weeks to deploy existing systems, especially from locations that lack the infrastructure to timely move the systems into position.
Rapid Cap aims to reduce deployment time by up to 40 percent over competing systems. Rather than requiring specialized infrastructure, Rapid Cap can be air transported on a Boeing 747-400F and lifted by a 110 ton or lighter crane.
“We are proud to offer the Global Rapid Intervention Package that will provide our customers with easy access to containment and relief capabilities even in the most remote areas,” said Jim Taylor, vice president Consulting & Project Management. “Boots & Coots has long been recognized as a global leader in well control response and GRIP furthers our commitment to safe offshore operations.”
GRIP and the Rapid Cap Air-Mobile Capping Stack are expected to be ready for deployment by the end of 2016.
In the event of a subsea loss of source control, response activity and equipment will often include equipment consisting of a very large and unwieldy BOP Capping Stack system. However, these systems are located in a limited number of locations globally where response times to offshore location may vary from 2 weeks to 6 weeks, depending on the location of the incident. Conventional assemblies are dependent upon a specific class of vessel with the capability to deploy these bulky BOP Capping Stacks. Furthermore, compliance with the regulatory requirements governing well control response times pose serious issues in being able to deploy in a timely manner.
The Global Rapid Intervention Package (GRIP℠) not only includes the compact and air-mobile designed Rapid Cap™ plus the air-mobile ‘Top Hat’, but also the necessary manifolds, a variety of debris removal and cutting tools, and wellhead dispersant connectors. Coupled with Boots & Coots’ industry leading Relief Well Service, the development of the Global Rapid Intervention Package (GRIP) demonstrates a step change in subsea response by providing the most rapid response possible.
Complimentary Services (Supplementary Services)
To avoid unnecessary costs associated with ‘dedicated equipment’, additional services can be considered for engagement such as Halliburton’s Testing & Subsea (TSS) group to provide and deploy topside flow separation located on a storage vessel or FPSO; TSS separation packages are modular, for rig up onto numerous vessels of opportunity. TSS has a global footprint with standardized flow packages to ‘daisy chain’ for large flow rates.
Following with the ‘non-dedicated’ concept, is the inclusion of accessibility to Halliburton Coiled Tubing services located globally. This group has ‘Dispersant Pumping’ capability and modular units for use on various vessels.
The last component for consideration includes accessibility to Halliburton’s fleet of stimulation vessels for use in the dynamic kill process (if one were to design a kill vessel from scratch, the design would be a stimulation vessel). These have available hydraulic horsepower range of 6,500 to 21,500 hhp and are located in all of the deep water basins.
The advantage of utilizing Halliburton’s TSS, coiled tubing units and stimulation vessels as part of a ‘package’ is to minimize the cost and logistics issues surrounding dedicated equipment. These components are located in easily accessible locations and can be deployed quickly, reducing the transit time to location by weeks. These services are being utilized and operated every day, crewed by highly trained and competent personnel, not by a dedicated crew that only gains experience by performing drills periodically. This package places emphasis on the re-tasking of existing, industry-proven systems.
