Subsea
Light Well Intervention
Light Well Intervention
World wide there are more than 6000 SS wells, and the number is growing.
The recovery rate from SS wells is most often less than 40 % vs 50 – 60 %
on dry wells. Increased Oils Recovery from SS wells by use of Light Well
Intervention Vessels is extremely cost effective vs Semi Submersible Rigs.
Strong growth in subsea wells drives demand for subsea
services from advanced and versatile offshore vessels

• Client takes over responsibility
when the tool-string enters the
well
• IO resumes responsibility when
the tool-string leaves the well
• Client is responsible for all cost
related to damage to the well
• Client is responsible for all cost
related to blow-outs or similar
accidents
• All except for gross misconduct
