Client: W&T Offshore
Project: Fastball Flowline Hydrate Remediation
Scope of Work
Remediation/removal of complete hydrate blockage and flushing of flowline to satisfy government requirements for decommissioning was performed. The project took 19 days to complete. The tie-back well had already been de-completed and the jumper removed. Access was through a high-flow Hotstab port on a flooding cap installed on the PLET. The client engaged a third-party engineering firm to define and guide initial, novel methodology for remediation of hydrate blockage. Following unsuccessful efforts, Team Venture – with approval of client – began our own field-proven methodology for remediation with resounding success.
