Aker Solutions Develops Capping Technology to Limit Deepwater Drilling Risks
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
February 19, 2015 - 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 170 tons and consists of a stack of adapters and
connectors assembled on a steel base. Aker Solutions developed the technology
over three years, involving designers and engineers at the company's hub in
Houston.
"This has been a collaborative effort involving ten oil companies and is a great
example of how the offshore industry can pull together," said Alan Brunnen, head
of Aker Solutions' subsea business. "Aker Solutions is pleased to have
contributed its unique knowledge and experience in high-pressure subsea
technology."
