About SWAT
Bespoke technology to place cement barriers quickly and accurately
We have developed and deployed tooling for suspended well cutting, abandonment and recovery for clients worldwide. These projects have included many category II wells requiring a shallow cement barrier spanning through the casing annuli.
Based on this experience, we developed our Suspended Well Abandonment Tool (SWAT™).
SWAT™ can rapidly perforate, circulate and place the required cement barriers in the well annuli through a wellhead during subsea well abandonment operations.
SWAT™ can be deployed from any dynamic positioning (DP) vessel, landed on the wellhead and then used to carry out casing perforation, followed by clean-up and placement of the required cement barriers in the well.
The wellhead can then be severed using our subsea abrasive cutting system and recovered using the wellhead recovery tool, utilising a full subsea decommissioning package delivered by a single provider.
Using the wiper ball system with SWAT™ isolates the cement from the wellbore fluid and provides the mechanical barrier to spot cement on, preventing slumping. The end result is a high-quality, uncontaminated and fully tested cement job.
