Aker's Capping Technology to Limit Drilling Risks
Aker Solutions delivered the key subsea component for the system being developed by Marine Well Containment Company to limit environmental risks from oil and gas production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The Subsea Containment Assembly, or SCA, is designed to contain a well-control incident by connecting and creating a seal to prevent oil leaks. It can also be used in a cap-and-flow plan to direct fluid to vessels on the surface. The technology works under pressures as high as 15,000 psi. The equipment was delivered to Marine Well Containment Company's team in Ingleside, Texas. It weighs

OceanWorks Delivers SDFS to Well Containment Firm
OceanWorks International says it has delivered a Subsea Dispersant Fluid System (SDFS) to Marine Well Containment Company (MWCC). The system will be an integral part of the emergency response tool kit for a well control incident in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The SDFS system supports dispersant supply from the surface as well as autonomously from the seabed. To reduce vessel crowding at the intervention site, the SDFS system delivers dispersant from more than one mile away from the incident site. The system can function autonomously for up to five days without intervention. The system
TIW Delivers Safety Valves to MWCC
TIW Corporation has announced the completion and delivery of two large diameter Ball Type Safety Valves to Marine Well Containment Company (MWCC) for use with its expanded containment system. The class II Ball-Type Hurricane Valve is a custom valve design derived from the well-proven TIW Kelly Valve used for drilling operations worldwide. The valves will become a component of MWCC’s containment system for the capture of fluids from an uncontained subsea well in water depths up to 10,000 feet. The valves will be used with the riser systems associated with two modular capture vessels. In the
