CI completes 46th well intervention

C-Innovation (C-I) of Mandeville, La., an affiliate of Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO), has completed its 46th well intervention in the Gulf of Mexico. 

C-I provides turnkey intervention services for the global subsea industry. 

It has completed three new riser-less zone perforations, an industry first in both deepwater and high-pressure operations, company officials said. 

The well intervention program is designed to provide increased efficiency along with faster response times for emergent situations through the quick mobilization and deployment of a vessel. 

C-I specializes in downhole operations, including production injection and integrity logging, caliper measurements, and setting water shut-off and zone bypass plugs. 

“Riser-less interventions on vessels offer both time and cost advantages over riser interventions," George Wilson, C-I's riser-less light well intervention project manager, said in a statement. 

C-I’s program offers the added benefit of "dedicated dock space with advanced fluid tracking for faster between-well maintenance,” he said. 

C-I’s well intervention program, which debuted in 2017, has performed 31 hydraulic interventions and 15 mechanical interventions. 

C-I recently completed its longest mechanical intervention on board the vessel, Island Venture. With 79 days offshore, the operation included 22 e-line and slickline runs, as well as 22,205 barrels of fluid pumped into the well. (Work Boat 05/17/23)
