Blue Ocean's IRIS breaks world depth record in deepwater subsea interventions
THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- Blue Ocean Technologies' Interchangeable Riserless Intervention System (IRIS), recently intervened on a deepwater production well in the Gulf of Mexico’s Desoto Canyon, reaching a record-breaking 8,200 ft.
Neil Crawford, President and Co-founder of Blue Ocean said, “At this point, we are chasing our own accomplishments. With each new project, the team and IRIS push the boundaries of subsea intervention to help our customers increase recovery and reduce costs. We understand the value of breaking records, but the success our customers experience on their wells is far more important in the long run.”
Blue Ocean continues to lead the industry in deepwater riserless intervention, setting and shattering their own record-breaking depth achievements, including 2,950 ft in 2009, 4,300 ft in 2012 and 6,700 ft in July of this year.
The patented IRIS is an ROV-compatible, fully integrated, multi-functional system that streamlines subsea interventions, successfully completing numerous open-water wireline runs. Each project represents a new industry record for riserless intervention. This project marks the first time that wireline has been successfully run in open water at 8,200 ft deep.
